PLEASANTON -- Four defendants have been charged in federal court with visa fraud for their alleged roles in the case of a fake university in Pleasanton being used as a front for foreign students seeking to establish U.S. immigration status, according to court documents unsealed Tuesday.
Vishal Dasa, 25, Anji Reddy Dirisinala, Ramakrishna Reddy Karra and Tushar Tambe each pleaded not guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Oakland to conspiracy to commit visa fraud.
Last year, an undercover agent with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement went to Tri-Valley University in Pleasanton and posed as a prospective foreign student whose student visa had expired years earlier. Dasa said "registration and tuition" would cost $2,800 and gave the agent a form certifying that he had been accepted as a student, ICE Special Agent Jason Mackey wrote in an affidavit.
"It has come. Now you are legal," Dasa allegedly told the agent.
The agent told Dasa he wouldn't be able to take the classes because he lived in New York and didn't have Internet access, and Dasa replied, "I will take care of that. ... There won't be any problem," the affidavit said.
The agent's form was later signed by a woman Dasa identified as his "madam." The woman in question, Susan Su, 41, operated the university and was indicted in May on charges of visa fraud, alien harboring and other crimes.
