(1) IN GENERAL.—During the 3-year period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, an alien seeking to enter the United States to pursue a course

clause (iii) of section 101(a)(15)(F) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 

U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(F)) without regard to whether or not that college or university has been accredited or been denied accreditation by an entity described in

in subsection (a)(1); and 

(B) comply with the applicable accrediting requirements of such agency. 

Purpose and Summary 

H.R. 3120 requires U.S. colleges and universities that admit foreign nationals as students on F visas to be accredited by an accrediting agency that is recognized by the Secretary of Education. The 

bill also prohibits a person convicted of certain felony offenses, such 

as visa fraud relating to an academic institution’s participation in 

the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), from having 

subsequent ownership or substantial authority at an academic institution participating in SEVP. 

Background and Need for the Legislation 

Under 8 U.S.C 1101(a)(15)(F) a foreign national can come to the 

United States temporarily as a 

bona fide student qualified to pursue a full course of study 

. . . solely for the purpose of pursuing such a course of 

study consistent . . . at an established college, university, 

seminary, conservatory, academic high school, elementary 

school, or other academic institution or in an accredited 

language training program in the United States, particularly designated by him and approved by the Attorney 

General after consultation with the Secretary of Education, which institution or place of study shall have 

agreed to report to the Attorney General the termination 

of attendance of each nonimmigrant student, and if any 

such institution of learning or place of study fails to make 

reports promptly the approval shall be withdrawn. . . .’’ 1

Such F visaholders were admitted to the U.S. over 1.5 million 

times during FY 2010.2

The F visa program offers foreign nationals the chance to study 

at American colleges and universities and immerse themselves in 

American culture. Unfortunately, some colleges and universities 

are undermining the laudable mission of this visa program by operating in order to engage in visa fraud.

2012. 4 United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, <http://www.ice.gov/sevis/students/> 

Jul.3, 2012. 5Lisa Krieger, Universities or Visa Mills, San Jose Mercury News, July 16, 2011. 

To curb such fraud, H.R. 3120 amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require that colleges and universities be accredited 

in order to admit foreign students seeking to study in the U.S. on 

F visas. The bill also provides the Secretary of Homeland Security 

the discretion to require that academic institutions (except for seminaries or other religious institutions) similarly be accredited before 

any such institution can host more than 25 foreign students on F 

visas. 

The process to obtain an F visa is as follows: The foreign national 

applies and is accepted to a U.S. college or university that is certified by the SEVP. SEVP tracks and monitors the schools and the 

F visaholders while they are in the U.S. educational system, 

through the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System 

(SEVIS).3 The school then provides the student with a Form I–20, 

the student pays the required SEVIS fee, and the student applies 

for the F visa at the U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country by submitting the Form I–20 and the other requisite paperwork 

and information.4

H.R. 3120 builds on Public Law 111–306, which required the accreditation of English-language training programs before such programs can admit foreign students on F visas. Enacted on December 

14, 2010, the law was intended to prevent fraudulent or fly-bynight English-language training programs from exploiting foreign 

students in the United States. 

As with Public Law 111–306, H.R. 3120 prevents fraudulent or 

fly-by-night colleges and universities from being able to exploit U.S. 

immigration policy and/or foreign students who are seeking bona 

fide educations in the United States. 

The bill was introduced after revelations concerning two institutions—the International Technological University in San Jose, California and Tri-Valley University in Pleasanton, California—that 

were found to be ‘‘visa mills.’’ 

The term ‘‘visa mill’’ refers to a distinctly illegitimate ‘‘school’’ 

that 1) recruits foreign nationals to come on student visas and 

charge substantial fees for the F visas and/or 2) is established for 

the purpose of providing questionable education and essentially 

worthless degrees. In many cases the foreign ‘‘students’’ are 

complicit in the fraud, but in some cases they truly believe they are 

in the U.S. to attend a legitimate school. 

Regarding Tri-Valley University, according to the San Jose Mercury News,5

Tri-Valley demonstrates the riches that can be made from 

turning a school into a visa mill. When Federal agents finally caught on, they discovered that the unaccredited 

school had been paid millions of dollars by foreigners to obtain student visas that authorize them to remain in the 

U.S.—a scheme whose growth was fueled by a profit-sharing system that gave students who referred newcomers 

from abroad a 20 percent cut of the tuition, according to 

court records.

Something else authorities found suspicious: More than 

550 students enrolled in the Alameda County university 

were registered as living at the same address: a two-bedroom apartment on El Camino Real in Sunnyvale. 

Visa mills compromise the integrity of the secondary education 

system in the United States as well as the integrity of U.S. immigration policy. 

By requiring that visas for foreign students seeking to attend colleges and universities in the U.S. only be granted when the student 

attends an accredited school, H.R. 3120 will prevent illegitimate institutions from cheating foreign nationals who seek a bona fide 

education in the United States. In addition, the bill’s requirement 

will prevent colleges and universities from violating immigration 

law and potentially threatening our national security. 

H.R. 3120 also prohibits certain individuals who have been previously convicted of felony offenses, such as human smuggling and 

visa fraud, from owning or otherwise having a position of leadership in a new college or university that admits F visaholders. Some 

individuals who have previously been convicted of such crimes in 

connection with running a visa mill, simply open new ‘‘schools.’’ 

H.R. 3120 will prevent that from occurring in the future. 

H.R. 3120 also allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to 

waive the accreditation requirement for a school that is otherwise 

in compliance with the requirements for a school that admits F 

visaholders and that is making a good faith effort to satisfy the accreditation requirement. Such waiver is intended to be granted 

narrowly and on a case-by-case basis where there is no indication 

of fraudulent activity on the part of the school. 

Hearings 

The Committee on the Judiciary held no hearings on H.R. 3120.

New Budget Authority and Tax Expenditures 

Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives is inapplicable because this legislation does not provide new 

budgetary authority or increased tax expenditures. 

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate 

In compliance with clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 

House of Representatives, the Committee sets forth, with respect to 

the bill, H.R. 3120, the following estimate and comparison prepared 

by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office under section 

402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974: 

U.S. CONGRESS, 

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE, 

Washington, DC, July 11, 2012. 

Hon. LAMAR SMITH, CHAIRMAN, 

Committee on the Judiciary, 

House of Representatives, Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The Congressional Budget Office has prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 3120, the ‘‘Student Visa 

Reform Act.’’ 

If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased 

to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Mark Grabowicz, who 

can be reached at 226-2860. 

Sincerely, 

DOUGLAS W. ELMENDORF, DIRECTOR. 

Enclosure 

cc: Honorable John Conyers, Jr. 

Ranking Member 

H.R. 3120—Student Visa Reform Act. 

As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary 

on June 28, 2012. 

CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3120 would have no significant cost to the Federal Government. Enacting the bill could affect direct spending and revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that any effects would be insignificant for each year. 

Under current law, foreign students may enter the United States 

temporarily to study at universities and other educational institutions. Under H.R. 3120, such students could only attend accredited 

institutions. 

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) collects fees from 

educational institutions and students and spends those fees (without further appropriation actions) to cover the costs of administering the international student program. The Department of 

State collects application fees for nonimmigrant visas issued to students and spends those fees on border security programs. Enacting 

H.R. 3120 could reduce the number of institutions available to 


pwalker on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
7 

international students and decrease the amount of fees collected by 

DHS. However, we expect that any reduction in collections would 

be offset by lower spending, so CBO estimates that the bill would 

not affect net direct spending. Students from certain countries are 

required to pay additional visa fees based on reciprocity agreements between the United States and their home country; those 

fees are deposited in the Treasury as revenues. CBO estimates that 

enacting the bill would affect few students and result in an insignificant reduction in revenues. 

H.R. 3120 contains no intergovernmental mandates as defined in 

the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). The bill contains private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA, but CBO estimates that 

the aggregate cost of the mandates would fall below the annual 

threshold established in that act ($146 million in 2012, adjusted 

annually for inflation). 

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Mark Grabowicz. The 

estimate was approved by Peter H. Fontaine, Assistant Director for 

Budget Analysis. 

Performance Goals and Objectives 

The Committee states that pursuant to clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII 

of the Rules of the House of Representatives, H.R. 3120, requires 

U.S. colleges and universities that admit foreign nationals as students on F visas to be accredited by an accrediting agency that is 

recognized by the Secretary of Education. 

Advisory on Earmarks 

In accordance with clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House 

of Representatives, H.R. 3120 does not contain any congressional 

earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as defined 

in clause 9(e), 9(f), or 9(g) of Rule XXI. 

Section-by-Section Analysis 

The following discussion describes the bill as reported by the 

Committee. 

Sec. 1. Short title. Section 1 sets forth the short title of the bill 

as the Student visa Reform Act. 

Sec. 2. Accreditation Requirement for Colleges and Universities. 

Section (2) amends the definition of the ‘‘F’’ visa for foreign students to require that colleges and universities be accredited in 

order to host foreign students seeking to study in the U.S. on such 

visas. It also expands the current definition of ‘‘accredited language 

training program’’ to include colleges and universities, thus requiring that all such institutions be accredited by an accrediting agency 

recognized by the Secretary of Education. And finally, it makes two 

technical and conforming changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act. 

Sec. 3 Other Requirements for Academic Institutions. First, section (3) gives the Secretary of Homeland Security the discretion to 

require accreditation of other academic institutions (except for seminaries or other religious institutions) if: 1) the institution is not already required to be accredited; 2) an appropriate accrediting agency recognized by the Secretary of Education is able to provide such 

accreditation; and 3) the institution admits or will admit 25 or 


pwalker on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
8 

more F visaholders. Next, section (3) allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to waive the accreditation requirement is a college, 

university or language training program is otherwise in compliance 

with the requirements of the 8 U.S.C. § 1101(15)(F)(i) and is making a good faith effort to satisfy the accreditation requirement. Finally, Section 3 prohibits a person convicted of certain felony offenses, such as human trafficking or visa fraud relating to an academic institution’s participation in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), from having subsequent ownership or substantial authority at an academic institution participating in 

SEVP. 

Sec. 4. Conforming Amendment. Section (4) makes a technical 

correction to the Immigration and Nationality Act. 

Sec. 5. Effective Date. Section 5(a) sets the effective date for the 

amendments made by the Act at 180 days after enactment and 

clarifies that such requirements will apply to applications filed 

after such date. Section 5(b) provides that during the 3-year period 

beginning on the date of enactment, foreign students can continue 

to receive F visas to attend an unaccredited college or university 

so long as such institution: (1) submits an application for accreditation within 1 year after the date of enactment; and (2) continues 

to comply with the applicable accrediting requirements of the accrediting agency.
