A BYU graduate student has had his Form I-20 revoked without notice and told to go back to Japan before the end of April. He is among dozens of international students in Utah who were told their visas had been revoked last week.
He and his attorney, Adam Crayk, told KSL NewsRadio the federal government revoked his visa without prior notice due to what the government said was “otherwise failing to maintain status.”
Crayk said he only has two speeding tickets on his record, as well as a catch and release violation from a fishing trip in 2019, which was dismissed with prejudice in court.
Crayk told Dave & Dujanovic that Onda has little to no social media footprint. He said he does not have a history of speaking out about politics or participating in protests; rather, he just posts pictures of his family.
Crayk said he’s learned through court filings that the government is using AI technology to locate any criminal activity amongst student visa holders and revoke their visas. He said this is being done without human cross-references.
if you got the requirements to get into a program, my cc and state kinda screwed me with thier ivy league level courses at the community level, so many people were in dead ends in cc for many years because of that. they literally said we have to maintain these courses at a certain level, (somehow i dont believe thier bullshit, why because the state school i transferred to had much easier classes that had no issues with transferring or grad studies requirements. it was kinda sad actually hearing people getting academically dismissed and trying to get back on campus, causing an incident.
the usa has a problem with its pipeline from BS-to-Phd EVEN BEFORE trump2.0, basically its pretty hard to set foot without significant exp upon graduation anyways, theres that problem, something university are reluctant to talk about, if they had labs in the schools, why arnt they telling students? then when i contact the PIs looking for lab work, i found a pattern, they dont want students to suddenly flood them with requests for volunteering, so they try get you out of thier office as soon as possible by telling you some inaccurate advice.
