Immigrant of the Day (Freshman of the Year): Arthur Mkoyan (Armenia)

By immigrationprof

Our Immigrant of the Day — of should we say freshman of the year — is coming to study chemistry at UC Davis.  Arthur Mkoyan, who earned a 4.0 GPA from high school in Fresno, was initially scheduled to be deported after his father’s asylum claim proved unsuccessful, but a private bill (and Senator Dianne Feinstein’s support) staved off that effort.  Thanks to a good Samaritan, who agreed to cover the costs of college, young Arthur will be a freshman this fall at none other than UC DAVIS!!!!!!
