US-bound students stopped from boarding AI flight
This prompted AI to stop 19 students seeking admission to the universities from boarding a flight from Hyderabad to San Francisco late on Sunday night. However, Imran also admitted that there are some students who have been unable to clear immigration due to their own irresponsibility. Students travel on a One Way ticket to U.S. and in the event of deportation, the student incurs huge expenditure to buy a ticket back to India on first available service.

In the backdrop of this development and no news of deportation of students travelling from other Indian cities, foreign education advisors feel the U.S. authorities might have singled out Telugu students after an investigation was started on December 11 on the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) that accredited NPU and SVU.
Nineteen Indian students bound for two universities in California were stopped by Air India from boarding a flight to San Francisco, earlier this week, reported The Times of India.
“We have asked the United States authorities to explain the reasons for denial of entry on a large scale to Indian students holding valid visas”, the statement said.
After several instances of students being denied entry into the USA even as they held valid students visas, India on Wednesday issued an advisory asking students to do “due diligence to ensure that the institutions to which they are seeking admission have proper authorization and capacities”.
“To avoid such humiliation for the other students traveling (Dec. 20), we decided not to let them board”, the official added.
“We have seen reports regarding deportation of Indian students from San Francisco”. Why indeed? More so, as the denial of entry and admission has cost the families a great deal of money, with not all the students being from an economic background that can sustain the financial loss. Interestingly, all these students got their visas from the US Consulate in Mumbai. All that the students want is a written letter from either the government or the airlines, stating that the universities are blacklisted. Were they able to join the said Universities?
Northwestern Polytechnic University officials could not be reached for comment Monday.

“Our colleagues in the USA informed us that students arriving there to join the two universities were being sent back by USA authorities from the airport itself as the two varsities have been blacklisted”, an official was quoted as saying in the India Express article.
