A new turn in the Tri Valley University(TVU) Saga…
After the arrest of Susanne Sue (president of Tri Valley University), we were all expecting that the investigation was nearing an end. Unfortunately from the phone calls we are getting from many, it seems that the “saga” is not over. Unfortunately we now are aware that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is not only investigating students that were recently enrolled with TVU but also other individuals who were probably merely ‘involved’ with TVU.
ANY PERSON WHO INTERACTED WITH TVU.
As such, if any of you have had some interaction with TVU, please do not be alarmed if you receive a phone call from an ICE agent regarding TVU. Our law firm advises that you call an attorney immediately before you answer any questions. We have extensively discussed about your rights in our “know your rights” article.
DO NOT BE DUPED BY CONSULTANTS TRYING TO MAKE QUICK MONEY ON YOUR UNFORTUNATE SITUATION
Lately we have had some clients calling us about a another ‘scam’ against TVU students. Knowing the desperation of the TVU students, some so-called ‘education/immigration consultants‘ have been taking money from the students and giving them a new I-20. Then, the students were asked to go to another country, for example, Jamaica and come back to get a new student status. While the idea might seem very appealing, its application might be illegal. For one the school might not be genuine, and two paying the “consultant” to take you to Jamaica does not serve an legal purpose.
REINSTATEMENT
The reinstatement process if probably one of the ways you can revive your student visa although you can also leave and travel back to the United States on a new student visa. Unfortunately there is no way to tell if the US Consultate abroad will actually issue the new visa. For this reason, we advise caution in leaving the United States. For any reinstatement assistance call us on 510 7425887.
