ATA thanks Krishna for Tri-Valley efforts
Hyderabad, Feb 16 (INN): The American Telugu Association on Tuesday expressed its gratitude to External Affairs Minister SM Krishna for his initiatives which had given viable options for the students who had been at the receiving end of the Tri-Valley University sham.
In a statement, the ATA said that it was thankful to Mr Krishna for taking initiative on Tri-Valley scam and reaching out to US secretary of state Hillary Clinton. The Minister's efforts enabled pressure on US government to provide students with viable option to continue their education.
The statement said that the ATA was working relentlessly with several legal partner in providing necessary legal guidance and support to the affected students. The Association was in constant contact with the Indian Consulate General offices in various cities and also approached Indian Ambassador to put pressure on US to resolve the matter in the interests of students who are the victims of this scam.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week released an update to affected Tri-Valley students and provided them with different legal options. The ATA requested the affected students to contact ICE immediately to find out the legal options available for them. According to a federal complaint filed in a California court in January, the Tri-Valley University had helped its students to acquire immigration status illegally.
