发帖数: 117 | 1 Nine students from Nepal attending Kansas State University were indicted
Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Topeka on charges of visa fraud,
according to U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom.
The indictment alleges:
• The students conspired to maintain their non-immigrant visas by
making false statements that they possessed funds to pursue their study at
K-State while supporting themselves and their dependents.
• In the fall of 2008 all nine students obtained temporary
possession of financial resources for the purpose of obtaining statements
from financial institutions to support their claims that each personally had
the needed funds.
• The students temporarily obtained funds from fellow Nepalese
students and deposited the funds in their bank accounts. After getting the
notarized bank letter, they returned the funds to the other students.
If convicted, each defendant faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal
prison and a fine up to $250,000 on each count. The state department and
homeland security participated in the investigation.
