... I know a few ppl who personally knew the guys who got arrested by INS.... and i think.. 2 of em were doin there Masters and one of em was gonna gratuate this fall.....he was just taking one last class before he graduated...... ......Beaumont is a small town near Houston... i know a few nepalese who went there, and most of em worked in gas stations around the school...... so the ppl who know the guys have assumed that the school authority found them working at the Gas Stations and informed INS.... .. International Student Advisor at Lamar University.... as I have been told ... is really really strict.... they usually have INS ppl at international student orientation... specifically to warn the students "NOT TO WORK" off campus... she personally hates her students working off-campus. ... so in this case, if she wants, she can save the students from gettin deported.... i kn ow that coz when my friend didn't go to school for 2 semesters... and INS asked him to leave the country... he went back to school... asked the int'l students' co-ordinator... and requested him to do something abt it... he easily got his i-20 approved and got re-instated.... .. for these guys from Lamar... this isnt really a serious issue.... its all upto the International Student's Advisor.... that b$tch.... ... Thanks all i know.... from what I have heard about them.... ... wishing them all the luck... Thank you.
