435 Indian Students Of Tri-valley Get Transfers To Other Schools

[kingmakers]

US authorities have approved the transfer of 435 Indian students of the Tri-Valley University to other institutions, indicating some progress in addressing the plight of nearly 1,800 Indian students affected by its closure.
They were among more than a thousand students, who were being considered for transfer to other universities, US officials told Indian embassy representatives Friday during a meeting to discuss the issues relating to Indian students of the allegedly "sham" California-based university.
They also informed the embassy that 145 Indian students were denied transfers and about an equal number were issued with Notices of Intention to Deny (NOIDs). The remaining cases of transfer are still under examination, according to an Indian embassy press note.
The cases of Indian students have been examined individually after evaluating all the information provided by the students, officials said and advised that students who have received NOIDs should reply to the notices in stipulated time with required / additional information/documents.
Officials of the State and Homeland Security departments as also United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and its investigative arm Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attended the meeting.
Indian officials in turn impressed upon US officials that the Indian students of Tri-Valley University have undergone hardship since the closure of the University and that their cases should be viewed with understanding.
The Indian embassy is continuing its efforts with US authorities for addressing the plight of TVU students, the press note said.
In another positive development, sources said, US officials had also assured that in case anybody decides to opt out of the transfer process and go back to India and apply afresh from there , their cases would be considered on the basis of the quality of the fresh applications without any reference to the TVU situation.
TVU president Susan Xiao-Ping Su, 41, was indicted in May by a federal grand jury on allegations of visa fraud and money laundering to the tune of $3.2 million by issuing visa-related documents to students in exchange for "tuition and fees".
Some 85 percent of TVU students were Indian, mostly from Andhra Pradesh.

I think those are the students who have opted to cross the border and step back in. Incase that was one of the options every student was given or had. Most of them chose to apply for reinstatement and those were the ones who got these NOIDs. There were about 1057 students who got NOIDs. What about them? What about the time they have wasted and not achieved the fruit of their pain and hardships?

a lesson to learnt for all future students

They are just being diplomatic. I am not buying that, when they say they will treat all TVU students as all other normal students, when we go back to India and come to US again over other university visas freshly. If they had the same intention, what do you think might be the problem in allowing the transfer to happen now. All of the TVU students have already transferred to other universities. The only thing if all the students go back and come again is that they loose about 2000 bucks each. Those students don't care what happened to Susan Su. Not really. But how can they buy that the USCIS has solved the mysteries of 435 students only, in a whole 10 months of time. What about the others. Do you really think it's normal?
