Matter of Healy and Goodchild
Board of Immigration Appeals
17 I. & N. Dec. 22 (1979)
Relevant factsFree
Healy and Goodchild (petitioners) held B-2 visitor-for-pleasure visas but arrived at U.S. ports of entry holding acceptance letters for a nine-month program at the Claymont School for Continuing Education, a school the INS had not approved for foreign student attendance; the INS found both petitioners inadmissible as nonimmigrants lacking valid visas for their actual purpose, and they appealed.
IssueFree
Whether an alien seeking admission for the primary purpose of attending a school not approved by the Attorney General for alien students may instead be admitted as a nonimmigrant visitor for pleasure.
