Zoe Lofgren of California on 10/6/2011. The bill requires that a student coming to study at a college, university, or language training program in the United States under a F-visa must attend an institution that is accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the Secretary of Education. This bill also provides a 3-year exemption for students coming to study at a college or university that has been certified by the Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) but not yet accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the Secretary of Education. This bill also authorizes, under specified circumstances, the Secretary to require elementary and secondary schools (exempts religious institutions) to be similarly accredited for F-visa purposes. H.R. 3120 is reportedly intended to prevent fraudulent or fly-by-night colleges and universities from being able to exploit U.S. immigration policy and/or foreign students who are seeking bona fide educations in the United States. The bill was reportedly introduced after revelations concerning two institutions--the International Technological University in San Jose, California and Tri-Valley University in Pleasanton, California--that were found to be `visa mills. The term `visa mill' refers to a distinctly illegitimate `school' that 1) recruits foreign nationals to come on student visas and charge substantial fees for the F visas and/or 2) is established for the purpose of providing questionable education and essentially worthless degrees. The House Report 112-595 indicates that authorities found suspicious from the investigation that more than 550 students enrolled in the Alameda County university were registered as living at the same address: a two-bedroom apartment on El Camino Real in Sunnyvale. Visa mills reportedly compromise the integrity of the secondary education system in the United States as well as the integrity of U.S. immigration policy. By requiring that visas for foreign students seeking to attend colleges and universities in the U.S. only be granted when the student attends an accredited school, H.R. 3120 will prevent illegitimate institutions from cheating foreign nationals who seek a bona fide education in the United States. In addition, the bill's requirement will prevent colleges and universities from violating immigration law and potentially threatening our national security. H.R. 3120 also prohibits certain individuals who have been previously convicted of felony offenses, such as human smuggling and visa fraud, from owning or otherwise having a position of leadership in a new college or university that admits F visaholders. Some individuals who have previously been convicted of such crimes in connection with running a visa mill, simply open new `schools.' H.R. 3120 will prevent that from occurring in the future. H.R. 3120 also allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to waive the accreditation requirement for a school that is otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a school that admits F visaholders and that is making a good faith effort to satisfy the accreditation requirement. Such waiver is intended to be granted narrowly and on a case-by-case basis where there is no indication of fraudulent activity on the part of the school. This bill now moves to the Senate for its action. There was a rumor reported by an over anxious person on cyber space yesterday that H.R. 3012 was passed. Probably, the individual who reported it erroneously confused between H.R. 3012 and H.R. 3120. The two numbers indeed look identical, isnt it?
