“For some time now, the U.S. has been on the lookout for students who enroll in graduate programs solely for the purpose of obtaining additional CPT (Curricular Practical Training), particularly when they do not “win” the H-1B lottery. Indeed, USCIS has issued Requests for Evidence (RFEs) regarding H petitions when it suspects that a student is not really engaged in a full-time program of study but enrolled to benefit from a university’s CPT program. Now, DHS reportedly has been operating a nonexistent university for the purpose of “identifying” such students”.
They really just want to grab tech jobs.
