US: Man ran visa fraud ring for Middle Easterners
Eamonn Higgins has never earned a college degree in his own name, but prosecutors allege that for the past seven years the 46-year-old has been going to school non-stop for dozens of other students.
Higgins was charged Monday with operating a ring of illegal test-takers who allegedly helped dozens of Middle Eastern nationals obtain US student visas by passing English-proficiency exams for them and then helped them hold onto those visas by taking college courses, passing finals and writing term papers in their names.
