Yes, that scared the pee out of me!! I just want to know where ALL the rest of the "Visa offenders" are. Lord knows, they must be everywhere! Can you imagine UCLA turning in people that don't show up for class? We're lucky it was Montana.

I, too, found it odd they would single out these Egyptians. It's certainly possible the government had a heads up---particularly with the Brit hijacking thing on the horizon.

Nopardons, did your source explain about their expulsion from their schools in Egypt? Did they give reasons? Was this prior to their coming to the U.S., or was it related to their coming here?

My "source" is the N.Y. Post.

It said that BEFORE these students were allowed to leave Egypt, they all had to sign lots of papers, at their school, that they WOULD go to all of the classes, NOT try to get a job here, and a bunch of other stuff. When contacted, the Egyptian college said that because the missing 11 had purposefully broken the stuff they swore they would NOT engage in, they were being kicked out of that school and that it was probable that no other college would take them.

Even WITH a college degree, it is extremely difficult to get a job in Egypt, now, so these guys REALLY ruined their lives and their families' lives, with this stunt. And yes, they ARE all being deported and their names put on a list of those who will NEVER again be given a visa here.

Why these kids were high on the FBI's todo list, I do not know. I do know that the college in Montana called the FBi, when the missing 11 didn't show up. There may be more to this story than has been published.
