have met with quite a few<br />

who have shared their<br />

experiences. We have been<br />

informed that many, but<br />

not all, are going through<br />

secondary inspection. As<br />

long as students have proper<br />

documentation and are able<br />

to answer questions, they<br />

are being allowed into the<br />

US. They also report that this<br />

is not limited to NPU or F-1<br />

regarding some return ticket<br />

issue. All students had<br />

been kept waiting for over<br />

six hours at the airport in<br />

India. The students have<br />

been landed at the Rajiv<br />

Gandhi International Airport<br />

last night and said, airport<br />
