Tri-Valley University shuts in US , 95% students are Indians.: (What Next..?)

Those enrolled at Tri-Valley University - where 95% of the students are reported to be Indian, largely from Andhra Pradesh - have lost their student visa status.

Most of the students have spent huge sums of money as fees, many through loans. Of the nearly 1,600 affected Indian students, a majority belong to Andhra Pradesh.  
 
It is mentioned in a complaint filed with a California court by the federal authorities that the University helped foreign nationals illegally acquire immigration status.

The university is said to have 1,555 students. As many as 95 per cent of these students are Indian nationals, the complaint said. 

Investigations by ICE found that while students were admitted to various residential and on-line courses of the university and on paper lived in California, but in reality they 'illegally' worked in various parts of the country as far as Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Texas.


During the course of the investigation ICE found that the university gave the residential address of its students in order to conceal that they did not live in California, said the court papers.

The fate of the university's 1,555 students, 95 per cent of whom are from India and mostly Andhra Pradesh(nearly 560students), remains unclear amid reports that some of them being questioned after raids by the US Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) last week
