    (a) Enrollment and initial use of SEVIS. Sponsors shall apply for 
enrollment in SEVIS no later than December 16, 2002. Upon notification 
that they have been successfully enrolled in SEVIS, sponsors shall:
    (1) Create a SEVIS record for any program participant seeking visa 
issuance or for whom an extension, transfer, change of category, or 
reinstatement request is sought;
    (2) Create a SEVIS record to replace a previously issued but lost or 
stolen copy of a participant's Form IAP-66 or Form DS-2019;
    (3) Create a SEVIS record if an amendment or change is made in the 
start or end date of a program participant's program;
    (4) Create a SEVIS record for a program participant's accompanying 
spouse and all accompanying dependent children if a SEVIS record has 
been created for the participant;
    (5) Utilize SEVIS to up-date information on any participant, spouse, 
or dependent child for whom a SEVIS record has been created; and
    (6) No later than August 1, 2003, create a separate SEVIS record for 
each participant, accompanying spouse and dependent child that will 
continue to have Exchange Visitor Program participant status after 
August 1, 2003.
    (b) Current U.S. address. Sponsors shall ensure that the actual and 
current U.S. address of all sponsored participants is reported to SEVIS. 
Sponsors shall update the actual and current U.S. address information 
for participants within 21 days of being notified by a participant of a 
change in his or her address. A sponsor's failure to update the actual 
and current U.S. address information within 21 days of receipt may be 
grounds for revocation of their Exchange Visitor Program status. 
Sponsors shall report a U.S. mailing address, i.e., P.O. box address, in 
those limited circumstances where mail cannot be delivered to the 
current and actual U.S. address. If a U.S. mailing address is reported 
to SEVIS, sponsors shall also maintain a record of the actual and 
current U.S. address, e.g., dorm, building and room number, for that 
exchange visitor.
    (c) Notification to program participants. Sponsors shall notify all 
participants in their exchange visitor program and accompanying spouse 
and dependent children that any change in the U.S.

address must be reported to the sponsor within 10 days of such change. 
Sponsors may direct the participant to provide the notification of 
change in address in a format acceptable to the sponsor.
    (d) Validation of program participation. Sponsors shall within 30 
calendar days of a program participant's start date verify that the 
participant has in fact begun their program participation. Sponsors 
shall update the participant's SEVIS record and current U.S. address.
