Washington: US authorities have "examined individually" cases of over 1,000 Indian students who had enrolled at California-based "sham" Tri-Valley University, approving transfer of 435 of them to other institutions.
Officials of Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and US Citizenship and Immigration Services met representatives of Indian embassy here on Friday and discussed several issues relating to Indian students at the Tri-Valley University, which was raided and shut down by authorities earlier this year on charges of a massive immigration fraud.
The US officials informed that out of more than 1000 students, who were being considered for transfer to other universities, 435 transfers were approved, 145 were denied and about an equal number were issued Notices of Intention to Deny, the Indian embassy said in a statement. The remaining transfer cases are still under examination.
