is "open and conducting classes as usual. Government charges against the Designated School Official, who has resigned, regarding immigration issues, have not affected the University. Students will find classes scheduled as usual," it said. The university added that if students have valid visa status "nothing has changed for you”.

The university is seeking Wang`s replacement and has appointed Doreen Simmons as the interim chief operating officer.

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said in a statement that in light of the allegations, Herguan and the University of East-West Medicine could lose authorisation to enrol foreign students.

"Foreign students who are currently enrolled at these universities may continue to attend classes as long as the schools remain SEVP-certified and the students are able to maintain their lawful immigration status," ICE said.

Thedays, if something doesn`t change, you either have to find a different school or leave the country”.

Last year over 1000 Indian students were affected by the Tri-Valley scam after the university was raided and shut down by authorities on charges of a massive immigration fraud.

Many students had faced the threat of deportation to India after the scam was uncovered. Federal authorities had alleged that Tri-Valley had been paid millions of dollars by foreigners to obtain student visas that authorised them to remain in the US.
