20 Indian students deported from Chicago airport on suspicion of illegal employment & other charges

Now, 20 Indian students deported from Chicago airport

HYDERABAD: Dec 29, 2015, DHNS

Telugu-speaking students aspiring to study in US universities are having trouble landing in that country.

Following reports of deportation from Abu Dhabi and San Francisco, this time 20 more students were deported from yet another port of entry, Chicago, after US immigration officials revoked their F1 visas and sent them home on Sunday.

According to information from Telugu Association of North America (Tana), students from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were on their way to join universities near Chicago.

Tana said that its representatives are trying to resolve the students’ immigration problems with the university officials, airlines, immigration officials, Indian embassy and the External Affairs Ministry.

Tana has asked students to contact them at [email protected] for help.

The first batch of 14 students faced deportation from San Francisco on December 19 after they failed to answer questions posed by the US Customs and Border Protection officers.

The students were then taken to a local jail and were grilled for hours and were not served proper food. Following their deportation, Air India and several other airliners, including Etihad, refused to board students enrolled in Silicon Valley and North Western Polytechnic University.

Even as the universities argued that they were not blacklisted, the External Affairs Ministry recently issued a notice to aspiring US students to postpone their travel until the issue is resolved. However, many students are reaching US shores as the orientation is slated for January 6.

The Overseas Education Consultancies here, which has sent the students to certain universities in the US, argue that students were caught unawares by the US Customs as such prolonged grilling is never expected at the Port of Entry.

“Many students were even asked about their Facebook postings on possible part time employment and funding by relatives,” they said.

However, they all agree that the recent fear of attacks by the Islamic State has certainly heightened the security blanket in the US affecting Indian students.

USA is very biased and tilled towards India , Every year they issued one million visas to Indian in comparison to few thousand visa to Pak..

As there is almost 2 lac visa are allotted every year for Pak but very few people used to apply US visa in Pak..

We need to apply more US visa as every Indian used to try his luck every year.

Illegal immigrants: 208 Pakistanis deported every day since 2009

ISLAMABAD: Labourer Ghulam Farids dreams of greener pastures seemed to momentarily come true when he landed in the United Arab Emirates to earn a better living. But the rude awakening came when he was expelled from the country for illegal entry.

I did not have a single penny to feed my four kids after being deported from the UAE, the 34-year-old told The Express Tribune. My agent cheated me and now I have nowhere to go.
Farid is just one of over 380,000 Pakistanis who have been deported from 54 countries since 2009. According to the official figures obtained by The Express Tribune, the average deportation of Pakistanis during the five-year period amounts to 208 per day.
No one helped us. We packed up and were sent home in a special plane arranged by the UAE government, which dropped us at Karachis Jinnah International Airport, Farid said, recalling the days when the Gulf states started a crackdown against illegal immigrants last year.

Before leaving Pakistan, I had handed over all my savings to an agent, Farid of Ward Sheikha Wala, Layyah, for documentation. But it was all a fraud we were ultimately sent back to Pakistan as our documents were found to be forged, he said.
While these figures are startling, Pakistan itself has handed over an estimated 25,712 illegal immigrants to some two dozen countries during the last five years.
Over 259,000 (67% of the total figure) Pakistanis were deported from four brotherly countries, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran and Oman. Saudi Arabia deported more than 122,000 Pakistanis during the last five years. Around 60,000 in 2013; 17,000 in 2012; 15,667 in 2011; 15,231 in 2010; and 14,878 Pakistanis were deported in 2009.
Over 63,000 Pakistanis were deported from the UAE between 2009 and 2013.
The Iranian immigration staff has sent back around 43,000 Pakistanis in the last five years. Tehran handed over some 9,000 illegal immigrants to Pakistans border authorities at the Taftan border in Balochistan in 2013.
Similarly, the United States sent some 600 Pakistanis home in the last five years, with 90 deported in 2013. The United Kingdom has deported some 9,000 Pakistanis since 2008 on the grounds that they were living there without proper documentation. Around 2,100 Pakistanis were expelled in 2013.
Over 31,000 Pakistanis were deported from Oman in the last five years, with 6,123 in 2013 alone. Over these five years, as many as 14,280 Pakistanis were deported from Greece, with 2,564 illegal immigrants sent home just last year.
More than 6,500 Pakistanis were deported from Turkey in the last five years, with 1,345 illegal immigrants sent back in 2013. Almost 6,500 Pakistanis were deported from Serbia.
South Africa sent home around 2,000 Pakistanis in the last five years while some 27 Pakistanis were deported from Afghanistan. While 12 were deported from China, Canada saw 79 deportations with France expelling 575 Pakistanis in the last five years.
A senior official associated with an Anti-Human Trafficking Circle under the Federal Investigation Agency told The Express Tribune that there are two reasons behind this mass deportation. In the first instance, deportees deliberately misplaced their documents to prolong their illegal stay. Some migrants managed to gain entry of other countries on the basis of forged documents usually prepared by their agents or human traffickers, he added.

Pakistanis in prison have started hunger strike against Pakistani Embassy in Malaysia. According to these prisoners, Malaysian Immigration staff arrests them, torture them and then rip them off of any money or any other precious thing that they have with them and take it away from them. They are kept in such prisons where even animals can’t be kept. Due to this action many Pakistani prisoners are getting depressed and catching other types of diseases as well.
After a few months when the court rules that the prisoner should pay for the return ticket, they cannot afford it because they have already been ripped off and they have to live for unknown period of time in jail.

Unlike Saudi Arabia and European countries, every illegal resident captured in Malaysia must pay for his ticket if he is to return to his homeland. People from other countries like Indonesia, Bangladesh and India, if arrested are returned to their respective countries within seven days of capture. Their countries bare their expenses but in case of Pakistanis nothing like that happens. Pakistani embassy in Malaysia in such critical circumstances is busy looting their own fellow countrymen.

Indian student numbers plunge after fresh attack in Australia

• ELLEN WHINNETT AND TAWQEER HUSSAIN
• SUNDAY HERALD SUN
• JANUARY 05, 2014 12:00AM

Indian students protest at Parliament House over violence.


THE horrific gang attack on Indian student Manrajwinder Singh has made headlines in India and again threatens *Melbourne's reputation as a desirable destination for *Indian students.
India's biggest newspapers have reported on the attack on Mr Singh, beaten unconscious and robbed at Birrarung Marr as he made his way home from the Crown casino about 4.15am last Sunday.Police had been seeking eight men of African appearance. At a court appearance for one accused, a detective said the 17-year-old was in a gang called KYR (Kill Your Rivals) which targeted Indians and others they saw as vulnerable.The vicious attack, which has left 20-year-old Mr Singh in a critical condition in The Alfred hospital, has sparked concern in India and once again put Victoria's multi- *million-dollar foreign student sector at risk.A spate of attacks on Indian students in 2009 and 2010, and the stabbing death of student Nitin Garg, led to a big Melbourne rally by concerned students and taxi drivers, which made front-page news in India.Along with a visa crackdown and the high Australian dollar, the safety concerns contributed to a 70 per cent drop in the number of students travelling from India to Victoria.Australia - and Melbourne in particular - was accused of being racist and unsafe. The Indian Government issued a travel warning for Indian students planning to study here.Rita Sharma, a Delhi-based foreign counsellor who assists Indian students wanting to study in Australia and the US, told the Sunday Herald Sun that the attack on Mr Singh created a renewed sense of fear."We don't know it was a racist attack or just another crime in Australia, we just know that again Indians are being attacked. You can understand how parents are scared to send their students to such places where they are not safe," Ms Sharma said.Naveen Chopra, chairman of the global education company The Chopras, sends students to Australia every year. He said the latest attack was nothing to worry about as it was "one of a kind''."There are black sheep in every society who malign the image of whole country through silly incidents,'' he said from Delhi."Australia has been one of the favourite places for the students. Things changed when the Melbourne incidents happened three years ago, and Indians were really scared to go."But after that, the response and the assurances from the Australian Government saw things come back on track. This time also, we are happy at how Victorian Police have worked on the latest case, they showed maturity."Mr Chopra said he was closely watching the situation."If such things continue in the future, we will definitely advise students against going to Australia," he said.An Indian community leader in Melbourne, Vasan Srinivasan, said he was concerned that negative reporting of the attack on Mr Singh could damage relations between India and Victoria.He said the attacks in 2009 and 2010 had led the Indian media to "make a mountain'', when in fact Melbourne was a safe and welcoming place for Indian students."The message was driven home that Australia is a land of racism. It's not true; these were opportunistic crimes,'' he said of the earlier attacks."It took a long time to *remove that image.''As president of the Federation of Indian Associations in Victoria, Mr Srinivasan said he and others had worked hard to convince students that Melbourne was a good and safe place to live and study."We Indians who are living in Victoria, Australia, we don't see it (racism),'' he said. He had held meetings on Friday with African community leaders and both communities wanted to be clear that there was no animosity between them.He said he understood that the latest attack on Mr Singh was of interest back in India."This particular incident has definitely provoked the *Indian media and I don't blame them,'' he said.He said that in 2008-2009 there were 65,000 Indian students in Victoria, but that number had fallen to 7300 in 2011-2012. "We definitely have a lot of work to do,'' he said.Mr Srinivasan has been liaising with Mr Singh's family in India. His mother was due to arrive here. Mr Srinivasan said she was "shattered''.He said the Indian Consulate and Mr Singh's school, Cambridge College, had provided assistance."These things happen in each and every country,'' he said. "There are 187,000 Indians living happily in Victoria.''A report in 2012 by the Australian Council for Educational Research found that the number of education visas issued to Indians had fallen 71 per cent in five years.The report said that the violence concerns, the high Australian dollar, a crackdown on visas and changes to residency rules had contributed to that.The report found that in 2006 and 2007, 96 per cent of Indians who applied for a visa to study higher education in Australia were successful. But by 2011-2012, only 50 per cent of applications were successful.Visa applications rose slightly in 2012-13.While Indian student numbers in Australia have more than halved in recent years, they have quadrupled in Canada and doubled in the UK and New Zealand.India's External Affairs Ministry declined to comment.

Melbourne? Never had a problemRAJ Ganesh and Ramanpreet Singh, both Indian students living in Melbourne, had not met until this week but in separate interviews, each chose the same word to describe Victorians: "kind"."The people are so kind here - I have never had a problem, any problem. The people always help,'' said Mr Singh, a 28-year-old hospitality student. "It's the best place in the world.''Mr Ganesh, 23, said he had twice chosen to study for his commercial pilot's licence in Melbourne."I really enjoy it here, I find the people are very kind. If I am walking from the tram stop to the college, Aussie people stop to offer me a lift,'' he said.Both Mr Ganesh, who comes from the city of Chennai in southern India, and Mr Singh, who comes from Punjab state in the north, said they had only positive experiences in Victoria.Neither recalled being the victim of racism and neither had experienced violence, although they had both heard the warnings from India that Australia was considered unsafe.Mr Ganesh arrived here as a 19-year-old in 2009 at the height of concerns about the safety of Indian students."My parents were very worried,'' he said. But after several years studying to be a commercial pilot, he returned to India, then chose to come back to Melbourne to gain a higher qualification, undergoing training at Moorabbin Airport. "My parents are actually very happy for me to be here,'' he said. "I feel absolutely safe, the cops, the whole system, it's nice.''Mr Singh, who is studying hospitality at Holmesglen, said he was saddened to hear about the attack on student Manrajwinder Singh at Birrarung Marr.However, he said such incidents could happen in any country.- Ellen Whinnett

‘Beaten up by employer,’in Saudi Arabia, Indians to return home

  ‘ISOLATED CASE’: A still from a video, that has gone viral, shows the alleged attack.

RIYADH: Three Indian youths who were allegedly beaten by an employer in the Kingdom, are expected to fly home within the next few days, said the Indian Consulate in Jeddah on Thursday.
The case of the three youngsters from Kerala caused an uproar on social media when one of them sent a video home through WhatsApp allegedly showing them being beaten with a plank by an employer at a brick-making factory.
“With the cooperation from the local police, the case has been solved and the youths will fly back home to Kerala in a few days,” an official from the consulate said.
“All three are under police protection and the employer will return their passports with final exit papers,” he said.
The youths — Baiju Babu, Abhilash Gopi and Vimal Kumar Vasudevan from Haripad in Kerala’s Alappuzha district — were brought to the Kingdom about a month back by an Indian placement agency on false job promises, he said.
Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj tweeted: “We reported this to the Saudi police. The workers will be back in India within a week.”
A Saudi social worker said that the Indian media should also hold the placement agency accountable for making false job promises. The workers were duped and taken to Abha to work at a brick manufacturing company by their agents, he said.
“The Indian media should know that the local police cooperate fully when such cases are reported and also ensure cooperation from the sponsor, which should be appreciated as well,” he said.
“To become involved in one-sided criticism is unfair,” he said, adding that the Kingdom hosts 2.9 million Indians, the largest group of its citizens outside the country. The incidents are isolated cases, he said.

A gay man who has been living in Brisbane for four years will be deported next week after his application for a partnership visa was refused.
This will put him at risk of being jailed in the country of his birth for being openly homosexual.
Ali Choudhry grew up in the United States and has few contacts in Pakistan.
He cannot read or write the local language.
He has been in a relationship with Brisbane neuroscientist Dr Matthew Hynd for the past four years.
Mr Choudhry and Dr Hynd were one of the first gay couples in Queensland to register their civil union on March 12, 2012.
It was a significant day that they celebrated with family and friends.

Marriage equality and things like that ... really do need to happen and happen soon.

​

Nearly two years later, Mr Choudhry's application for a visa recognising his relationship with Dr Hynd has been refused.
He says he cannot understand why theirs is not considered a legitimate long-term partnership.
"We applied for a partnership visa to try and keep me here, and keep us together," he said.
"For us, for whatever reason, it took about two years, and then even after all that time, it came back as a no."

Indians the Latest Illegals Coming to U.S. Through Mexico in the thousands

Written by R. Cort Kirkwood

A new mass of humanity is moving across the U.S. border with Mexico. Illegal-alien Indians, many of them Sikhs, are coming to the the United States, the Associated Press reported on Sunday, because it elevates their social status back home. They will account for 33 percent of the illegals caught trying to cross the border.

So border officials now contend not only with Mexican revanchists and drug traffickers but also Indians from the Punjab and Gujarat, who are using dangerous smugglers to get them across the border into Texas.
According to the AP, an immigration detention center in Texas holds a large number of Sikhs who lie to judges by claiming they are seeking asylum from religious persecution.

The Numbers
The number of Indians flooding Texas is alarming, and shows no signs of abating. “Indians have arrived in droves even as the overall number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. has dropped dramatically, in large part because of the sluggish American economy,” the AP reported.

Between October 2009 and March 2011, the Border Patrol detained at least 2,600 illegal immigrants from India, a dramatic rise over the typical 150 to 300 arrests per year.

The influx has been so pronounced that in May, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a Senate committee that at some point this year, Indians will account for about 1 in 3 non-Mexican illegal immigrants caught in Texas.

Some Indians cough up $20,000 to make the trip, a boon to the smugglers who have fewer Mexicans to transport. The smugglers are, after all, “businessmen,” the AP reported, quoting a border patrol official.

From Asia to Central America

The pipeline begins in Asia, where the Indians are smuggled through locales such as Hong Kong, the AP reported. From there, they land in Central America, then head north through Mexico to cross the border surreptitiously. The Indians have adopted the long and dangerous route, the AP notes, because “U.S. authorities have cracked down on the traditional ways they used to come here, such as entering through airports with student or work visas. The tougher enforcement has made it harder for immigrants to use visas listing non-existent universities or phantom companies.”

As well, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras changed their visa requirements in 2009 in order to attract investors, permitting Indians to enter without visas.

But the illegal immigration problem from Guatemala to Mexico became so bad that Guatemala reinstated its visa requirement on June 6. “Still, the lack of a visa requirement allowed at least 8,300 Indians to enter Guatemala,”the AP said, “and fewer than 28 percent of them exited legally, according to Enrique Degenhart, director of Guatemalan immigration. The others disappeared to continue heading north.”

Meanwhile, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras still don't require visas for Indians, meaning smugglers can shift routes and use those countries as alternate jumping-off points for the journey north.

El Salvador's director of immigration, Ruben Alvarado, said officials have begun quizzing arriving Indians about what Salvadoran tourist sites they intend to visit in an attempt to spot those entering the country simply to head north.
Lying to U.S. Officials

The illegal-alien Indians lie to U.S. officials about their reason for sneaking across the border. Many of the Sikhs say they are fleeing religious persecution or financial insecurity. Yet Punjab and Gujarat, AP reported, “are relatively prosperous and where it’s common for people to seek greater fortunes abroad even if they are financially secure at home.”

An Indian professor, Pramod Kumar, explained that “immigrating to other countries is an important regional tradition that's even reflected in folk songs.”

If people face dire economic straits, “you try and sell your land and go abroad,” Kumar said. “If you’re prosperous, still you go abroad because, culturally, it gives you a higher status.”

Many immigrants take jobs driving trucks or taxis or working on farms. Initially, the pay is not substantially greater than they would make back home, but simply living in the West elevates their social standing in India. And over time, their earnings increase, Kumar said.

As well, Sikh authorities control one of the two states from which the illegals are coming, which Kumar said belies the claim that they are fleeing religious persecution. “It’s all nonsense,” he told the AP.

these idiots are sons of men with a lot of extra money ,they just want american degree , some polytechnics use them for ride , such so called institute are somewhat dubious or substandard credits . american authorities time by time issue lists of the institutes with dubious credentials . but fools are always fools .

Kuwait mulls ban on Indian workers

Daniel George,TNN | Dec 12, 2014, 06.11 AM IST

​

CHENNAI: Kuwait is considering a ban on recruitment of Indian domestic help and private sector workers which, if effected, would be a huge setback to Indians going to Gulf for employment. Indian diplomatic sources in Kuwait told TOI on Thursday that the move follows New Delhi insisting that foreign employers, particularly among Gulf Cooperation Council countries, pay a $2,500 bank guarantee for hiring Indian domestic helps.

The decision came in September after Indian missions in GCC countries began receiving complaints about unpaid salaries, delayed wages and harassment at workplace. All the other five GCC nations have accepted the 'diktat' but Kuwait said it did not want to exert more financial pressure on its citizens. Talks on the issue between Kuwaiti officials and India's ambassador to Kuwait Sunil Jain failed to arrive at a consensus.

The Indian community in Kuwait comprising around 750,000 people, including 270,000 domestic help, is one of the largest among GCC countries. Diplomatic sources said the Indian envoy during the talks did consider a possibility to do away with the bank guarantee for men but insisted that it be implemented for women domestic help.

Ministry of external affairs official Syed Akbaruddin said the matter was being dealt with the ministry of overseas Indian affairs. Sunil Jain was unavailable for comment.

In an advisory on its website, the Indian embassy in Kuwait said the bank guarantee would be used "for the repatriation of the housemaid and other unpaid expenses like salary, medical expenses... in case the employer fails to pay the same as per the terms of the agreement. The guarantee is to be submitted in original to the embassy of India."

There have been many instances in the past of non-payment of wages, physical and mental abuse and acute harassment of Indian domestic workers in Kuwait. Often, passports of Indian workers are kept by their sponsors in Kuwait, the advisory said.
