Of the more than 1,000 Indian students who had enrolled in Tri-Valley University, a California institution that was closed by government authorities after being accused of exploiting federal regulations to commit visa fraud, the U.S. government has approved the transfer of 435 students to other American higher-education institutions, according to a Press Trust of India report published in the Business Standard newspaper. Tri-Valley University was raided and shut down by authorities earlier this year. After examining each of the 1,000 students’ cases, authorities denied transfer to 145 students and issued Notices of Intention to Deny to another 145 students, the Indian embassy in Washington said. Indian officials urged the United States to view the cases of the students with “understanding” as they have suffered because of the closure of the university.
