NewsFlash! ICE Raid at Tri-Valley University Impacts Many
Posted 21.Jan.2011

On January 20, 2011 the Murthy Law Firm received numerous phone calls from students registered at Tri-Valley University in Pleasanton, California. The school was raided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on January 20th. There are allegations of fraud by the school's owner. The students are justifiably scared, due to reports of ICE enforcement against the students themselves, as well as the uncertainty of their status and options.

Detentions

We have received verification that ICE has detained some of the students and placed them in removal proceedings. Students in this situation need to immediately obtain qualified legal representation. They should not make any decisions without legal advice. In anticipation of this possibility, it is best to at least have contact information for removal attorneys working in one's area. It is also a good idea to have funds available to cover a possible bond and legal costs.

Options: Find New School

Students of Tri-Valley need to quickly find other options, if they wish to attempt to remain in the United States. For some, there may be an option to enroll in a new school. While we are receiving reports of difficulties faced by schools in securing the transfer of the SEVIS record, ICE has issued guidance on this topic: http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/school_closed_17_student.pdf
(PDF 73.4KB)

This indicates that SEVP can give guidance to the schools in those situations where the transfer out school (Tri-Valley in this case) cannot be contacted or cannot fulfill its obligations to transfer the SEVIS record.

Options: Change of Status

Some of the F-1 Tri-Valley students may have options to try to change status in the United States. Some are potentially eligible to request a change to H-4 or other dependant statuses. Others might be eligible for H1B status through employers, but may not have enough time to file for the soon-to-be reached FY 2011 H1B cap. Those who have previously held H1B status and do not need cap numbers would not face this problem.

Conclusion

There are a number of issues that require further clarification in this situation. We are working to obtain additional guidance, and will post any further information on MurthyDotCom. What is clear is that former Tri-Valley students need to act quickly to find alternatives. Attorneys at the Murthy Law Firm are available to advise former Tri-Valley students regarding available options.
