5 Residents in California have been arrested in connection with US Student Visa fraud. One more accused is believed to be in Taiwan. All these 6 have been charged with a plot to assist Chinese nationals to obtain the US Student Visas. This is by appearing for the mandatory tests for English proficiency for them.
The indictment of the Federal
Grand Jury was announced in Los Angeles. It claims that the 6 accused utilized
fake Chinese passports for impersonating
16 different individuals. They appeared for the required TOEFL exams for
them at locations in and surrounding Los Angeles.
The defendants can land up in prison for 10 years, as quoted by the
NBC Los Angeles. This is if they are convicted of using a false passport,
identity theft, and conspiracy.
