You may know that Herguan University was raided by federal agents on visa fraud – Herguan University Raid – 450 Students in Trouble.
Since, Herguan University failed to respond to the query, SEVP certification is terminated.
Following was posted in ICE site.
On Aug. 2, Herguan University was issued a Notice of Intent to Withdraw by SEVP. The school failed to respond to this notice within the 30-day time period allowed by regulation. Therefore, on Sept. 18, SEVP issued Herguan University a Withdrawal on Notice. As a result of the Withdrawal on Notice, Herguan University is no longer certified by SEVP to enroll nonimmigrant students and all nonimmigrant students have had their Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) records terminated. Because the school failed to respond to the Notice of Intent to Withdraw within the 30-day time period, the school does not have appeal rights.
2. If the student is unable or unwilling to transfer, the student must depart the country within seven calendar days.
Herguan University nonimmigrant students participating in Optional Practical Training (OPT); science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) Optional Practical Training; or Optional Practical Training Cap-Gap will have their records terminated and will lose their work authorization. When this happens, the impacted students must immediately stop working. These students will be permitted to transfer their SEVIS record by following the instructions provided above, as long as they enroll in a new course of study and apply for reinstatement. However they cannot transfer the balance of their Optional Practical Training.
Nonimmigrant students who have questions about their options should call the SEVP Response Center at (703) 603-3400. This number is staffed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (EST), Monday through Friday.
I think this person is one of the luckiest person who had F1 Visa Denied for Herguan University.
According to the latest info on the ICE website, Herguan’s lawyer sent his response to the wrong email address.
ICE now found the response and has graciously accepted it as timely filed. Therefore, they have for the time being rescinded their revocation, and they now go through their normal motions.
