Pleasanton: Tri-Valley University Accused of Scam

{snip}

Susan Su, 41, who operated Tri-Valley University in Pleasanton, accepted money from foreigners, mostly Indians, in exchange for what was purported to be tuition and fees, federal prosecutors said.

In fact, she illegally obtained visa documents “without regard to the students’ academic qualifications or intent to pursue a course of study required to maintain a lawful immigration status,” authorities said.

Prosecutors said Indian nationals paid $2,700 a semester in tuition for visa-related documents that allowed them to live and work in the country on student immigration status.
