Washington: Indian Ambassador to the US Meera Shankar has conveyed to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton the details on Indian students of Tri-Valley University in California, which was closed last month on charges of visa fraud.
"Following the telephonic conversation between the External Affairs Minister of India and the US Secretary of State on February 13, the Indian Ambassador today conveyed to the Secretary of State details on the issue of the Indian students at Tri Valley University," Indian Embassy spokesman Virander Paul said in a statement.
Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao along with Shankar are expected to meet Clinton at the Foggy Bottom headquarters of the State Department on Tuesday.
The two Indian diplomats are likely to follow up on fate of Tri Valley University students during the meeting with Clinton, which was primarily scheduled as a preparatory meeting for Clinton's visit to India in April.
The US Secretary of State is scheduled to visit New Delhi in early April for the second India-US Strategic Dialogue.
Rao arrived here from New York on Sunday evening and held meetings with officials of the Obama Administration including those at the White House and the State Department on Monday.
She also met Congressmen at the Capitol Hill.
