Fulbright Scholar has VISA revoked for criticizing Israel

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

The Op-Ed is protected by free speech. What march and demonstration did she organize?

She can go back to Turkey and exercise her free speech rights all she wants. No one is saying she can't say what she wants. She's being told she can't be in The United States on a student visa and say what she wants. She's a guest here. She needs to act like it and show some manners towards her host.

 

[Blisterfinger]

Is there anything in the OpEd that mentions support for Hamas?

The op-ed that includes several lies about israel and unreasonable demands
?
"On March 4, the Tufts Community Union Senate passed 3 out of 4 resolutions demanding that the University acknowledge the Palestinian genocide, apologize for University President Sunil Kumar’s statements, disclose its investments and divest from companies with direct or indirect ties to Israel. These resolutions were the product of meaningful debate by the Senate and represent a sincere effort to hold Israel accountable for clear violations of international law. Credible accusations against Israel include accounts of deliberate starvation and indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian civilians and plausible genocide.

Looks like pro-Hamas propaganda to me.

A green card holder doesn't have the right to lie in order to instigate disorder on our campuses.

There seems to be quite a bit of information online about this at this point. You should do some extra research marener or whatever your name is

"Stop Antisemitism wrote that Ozturk, after graduating from Columbia University, “led pro-Hamas, violent antisemitic and anti-American events as a Ph.D. student at Tufts.”

‘Common sense’ arrest of pro-Hamas protester Rumeysa Ozturk, says Homeland Security

Federal investigations found that the Turkish national and Tufts student “engaged in activities in support of Hamas,” the Department of Homeland Security told JNS.

Yes, the risk of terrorism is high with this one.

 

[struth]

Criticizing Trump isn't inciting violence.

Nobody said it was.

 

[Robert W]

For organizing marches and demonstrations against Jewish people on campus. She also wrote inflammatory op-eds . Her visa has been revoked, she has been removed. Not really a bad thing

Tufts grad student arrested by ICE in Somerville, sent to Louisiana

Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish national, was detained Tuesday when she left her home to break her Ramadan fast. Tufts officials were told that her visa status was terminated.

Student Visa​

Overview​

Generally, foreign nationals who wish to travel to the United States must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for a temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. You must have a student visa to travel to the United States to study. Your course of study and the type of school you plan to attend determine whether you need an F visa or an M visa.

You need the following visa category:

Students cannot travel on the Visa Waiver Program or with Visitor Visas
You must have a student visa (F or M visa) to travel to the United States to study. You may not study after entering on a visitor (B) visa, unless you are eligible for and have obtained a change of status from USCIS, or through the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), except to undertake recreational (non-credit) study as part of a tourist visit. For more information on the VWP, see Visa Waiver Program.
For short periods of recreational study, a Visitor (B) visa may be appropriate
A visitor (B) visa permits enrollment in a short recreational course of study, which is not for credit toward a degree or academic certificate. Learn more about Visitor Visas.
Study leading to a U.S. conferred degree or certificate is not permitted on a visitor (B) visa, even if it is for a short duration. For example, a student in a distance learning program that requires a period of time on the institution’s U.S. campus must obtain a student (F or M) visa prior to entering the United States.
Student Acceptance at a SEVP Approved School
The first step to studying in the United States is apply to a SEVP-approved school in the United States. If the SEVP-approved school accepts your enrollment, you will be registered for the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) and must pay the SEVIS I-901 fee. The SEVP-approved school will issue you a Form I-20. After you receive the Form I-20 and register in SEVIS, you may apply at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate for a student (F or M) visa. You must present the Form I-20 to the consular officer when you attend your visa interview.
If your spouse and/or children will live with you in the United States while you study, they must also enroll in SEVIS, obtain individual Form I-20s from the SEVP-approved school, and apply for a visa (but they do not pay the SEVIS fee).
Visit the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) website to learn more about SEVIS and the SEVIS I-901 Fee.
Visit the Department of State EducationUSA website to learn about educational opportunities for undergraduate and graduate study, and an overview of the application process. You can also visit the DHS Study in the States school search page to search for SEVP-certified schools.

---

New Students – Student (F and M) visas for new students can be issued up to 365 days before the start date of a course of study. However, you will not be allowed to enter the United States on your student visa more than 30 days before the start date.

Gather Required Documentation​

You and your school official must sign the Form I-20. All students must be registered in the Student and Exchange Visitor System (SEVIS). Your spouse and/or minor children, if they intend live in the United States with you, will each receive an individual Form I-20.

Additional Documentation May Be Required​

A consular officer will interview you to determine your qualifications for a student visa, and may request additional documents, such as evidence of:

• Your academic preparation, such as:
  • Transcripts, diplomas, degrees, or certificates from schools you attended; and
  • Standardized test scores required by your U.S. school;
• Your intent to depart the United States upon completion of the course of study; and
• How you will pay all educational, living and travel costs.

Review the instructions for how to apply for a visa on the website of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where you will apply.

Attend Your Visa Interview​

A consular officer will interview you to determine whether you are qualified to receive a student visa. You must establish that you meet the requirements under U.S. law to receive a visa.
Ink-free, digital fingerprint scans are taken as part of the application process. They are usually taken during your interview, but this varies based on location.
After your visa interview, the consular officer may determine that your application requires further administrative processing. The consular officer will inform you if this is required.
After the visa is approved, you may need to pay a visa issuance fee (if applicable to your nationality), and make arrangements for the return of the passport and visa to you. Review the visa processing times to learn more.

Entering the United States​

A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. A visa only allows a foreign citizen to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry (generally an airport) and request permission to enter the United States. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials at the port-of-entry have authority to permit or deny admission to the United States.
After you present your passport, visa, and Form I-20 at the port-of-entry, a CBP official will make this decision. Upon admission, the CBP official will provide an admission stamp or paper Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record.
Learn about procedures for students (with F or M visas) entering the United States on the CBP website under Arrival Procedures for Students or Exchange Visitors. Learn about admissions and entry requirements, restrictions about bringing food, agricultural products, and other restricted/prohibited goods, and more by reviewing the CBP website.

Extending Your Stay​

Foreign students in the United States with F visas must depart the United States within 60 days after the program end date listed on Form I-20, including any authorized practical training.
Foreign students may request an extension through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website (see the USCIS Extend Your Stay page). Additional information to maintain student status is on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement SEVP website under Maintaining Your Immigration Status While a Student or Exchange Visitor.
Failure to depart the United States on time will result in being out of status. Under U.S. law, visas of individuals who are out of status are automatically voided (Section 222(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act). Any multiple entry visa that was voided due to being out of status will not be valid for future entries into the United States.
Failure to depart the United States on time may also result in you being ineligible for visas in the future in certain cases. Review Visa Denials and Ineligibilities and Waivers: Laws to learn more.

The Fulbright Scholar in the OP is being deprived of free speech.

No she’s not. What the f are you talking about? She’s free to associate with and suooort Hamas

She isn’t free to visit the United States or get a visa

 

[Lisa558]

Did that hurt your feelings, if she even said that, which I doubt.

I never said that. Like a typical lib losing a debate, he makes things up.

 

[Marener]

"On March 4, the Tufts Community Union Senate passed 3 out of 4 resolutions demanding that the University acknowledge the Palestinian genocide, apologize for University President Sunil Kumar’s statements, disclose its investments and divest from companies with direct or indirect ties to Israel. These resolutions were the product of meaningful debate by the Senate and represent a sincere effort to hold Israel accountable for clear violations of international law. Credible accusations against Israel include accounts of deliberate starvation and indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian civilians and plausible genocide.

Where's the lie? It lists that these are credible accusations. It doesn't even say they're true or not.

 

[Marener]

I never said that. Like a typical lib losing a debate, he makes things up.

I have the receipts.

 

[Marener]

No she’s not.

Of course she is.

 

[Blisterfinger]

Where's the lie? It lists that these are credible accusations. It doesn't even say they're true or not.

The lies are in bold. My suggestion is if you want to come to the United States and get a degree or something is to keep your inflammatory anti-Semitic mouth shut. Things will work out better for everyone

 

[Marener]

Looks like pro-Hamas propaganda to me.

It says nothing about Hamas.

 

[Marener]

The lies are in bold. My suggestion is if you want to come to the United States and get a degree or something is to keep your inflammatory anti-Semitic mouth shut. Things will work out better for everyone

What have I said that's antisemitic?

 

[Blisterfinger]

Where's the lie? It lists that these are credible accusations. It doesn't even say they're true or not.

It is her opinion that these are credible accusations when they are not. That's where the LIE is. You must agree with her remarks?

 

[Marener]

It is her opinion that these are credible accusations when they are not. That's where the LIE is. You must agree with her remarks?

The credibility of an accusation is an opinion. Therefore, it is not a lie.

You're wrong.

 

[Lisa558]

This is how leftists think:

1) Logo on Aunt Jemima syrup:

“That could be offensive to blacks!”
“They need to come up with something new or we will drive them out of business!”
“Totally unacceptable! Blacks shouldn’t have to look at something so insulting!”

2) Muslims marching around colleges yelling “Death to Jews!!!” while antisemitic violence is skyrocketing on campuses:

“Free speech.”

 

[Lisa558]

It says nothing about Hamas.

It’s repeating the HAMAS lies and propoganda. She is not a welcome addition to our country.

Muslims need to learn that you aren’t granted a visa without disclosing one’s support of anti-Jew terrorist organizations, and then spew the hate all over and incite further violence against Jews, and expect her visa to remain active.

 

[Blisterfinger]

The credibility of an accusation is an opinion. Therefore, it is not a lie.

You're wrong.

Looks like disinformation to me. Lies. Why would you want this in the United States? Do you agree with her remarks? Should she be here?
