An Israeli piano student who fell victim to tightened U.S. visa rules will receive a visa to attend a New York music school. After a publicity blitz by supporters of the student and efforts by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv granted Victor Goldberg, 25, a student visa to attend the Manhattan School of Music. “It made absolutely no sense to deny a visa to a student who previously studied in the United States and has strong family ties in Israel,” Nadler said. “The reversal of this decision is not only a victory for Victor Goldberg, but for U.S.-Israeli relations.”
