Student visa abuse at two California schools

Center for Immigration Studies:

Some would-be F-1 students from India have been shipped home, and others barred from taking flights to the U.S., in what may be another visa mill scandal in California's Bay Area.

The two educational institutions involved are Silicon Valley University (SVU), and the somewhat bigger Northwestern Polytechnic University (NPU). Both institutions are run largely by Chinese Americans, and both are largely attracting students from India – the same basic pattern as was found a couple of years ago in the ICE-closed Tri-Valley University and in Herguan University, whose founder, owner and former CEO has been sent to jail for immigration fraud.

Tri-Valley and Herguan are also in the Bay Area. Yet another Chinese-run, Indian-attended visa mill, the University of Northern Virginia, was closed by state authorities and subsequently de-listed by the slow-moving Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), a subset of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

According to The Indian Express:

Nineteen students . . . were prevented by Air India staff from boarding a flight bound to San Francisco as officials said two universities in which they had taken admission had been blacklisted by the U.S. government . . . Two batches of students who had traveled earlier were detained for several hours at airports in the U.S., their student visas revoked and they deported.

Federal authorities, according to Indian press accounts, would only say that the two universities were under review. Meanwhile both institutions (as of December 28) remain on the SEVP-issued list of entities entitled to issue the I-20, the document that leads to an F (foreign student) visa, and both have proclaimed that they are in the good graces of DHS.

Immigration fraud is not limited to Mexico and Central America.  Asians are also deeply involved.  Those calling for immigration reform are mostly ignoring problems like this.
