A Pastor from Southern California has been accused of US immigration crimes after helping foreigners gain US student visas fraudulently.
The US immigration authorities charged Samuel Chai Cho Oh on Tuesday. He is accused of charging prospective students large sums of money for fake diplomas that he gave out at ‘graduation ceremonies’ at a Christian university he owns. The ‘graduates’ had never attended the university.
Over 100 students from countries including Japan, South Korea and Thailand were offered places at California Union University in Fullerton. The fake establishment acted as a cover and allowed them to remain living in the US on student visas.
Oh is denying the charges and his lawyer says, "he's a good man and doesn't know anything about any of this."
US Immigration authorities think that Oh made as much as $50,000 a month through his fake documents scam. He would charge up to $10,000 to file documents for the students, which appeared to offer them a place at his university, allowing them to apply for a US visa to enable them to study in the US.
The authorities also discovered that 75 of the 300 students registered at his university did not regularly attend classes.
