Fraud: This Time Its a Student Visa Case!

A Florida Language Institute recently got involved in a huge Student Visa scandal. The owner and co-operators of the institute illegally assisted overseas nationals in getting Student Visas. The irony is that the concerned applicants never went to their classes ever!

Lydia Menocal, the Director of the institution, along with another co-worker was involved in the scandal for the past 3years! It has been speculated that the duo along with other members of the Institution made a heavy amount of $2.4 million and the money is still on the list of counting! The staff members charged this money from the overseas students applying for the Student Visas. However, it is still not clear as to how much the officials charged from each student.

It was a racket which used to work secretly and help those applicants get Student Visas who have never attended a single class. The officials at the Institute were also charged of falsifying the documentation and providing fake evidences!

In addition, almost eighty-one students have been arrested, who were trying to get Student Visas without fulfilling the mandatory requirements. The U.S. authorities have confirmed that none of the students had any links with terrorism, but investigations are going on to check their backgrounds.

U.S. Jeffrey Sloman confirmed that they still don’t know what exactly they were involved in!

Also, out of the 200 students studying in the Institution, only 5% out of them were speculated to have attended the classes.
