My lottery of H1B visa has got picked up this year they are asking , 5 lakh for processing. What is confusing is that what if they take money and lastly they say something and escape without my visa getting done.
I will loose the money also.
The consultant name is Menschforce and the CEO name is manoj subramanian.
I just do not want fraudulent.
Kindly help.

Have they not informed you this process before they process this for you and this is not fraud if they have mentioned before all the consultancies charge this amount to process your petition

H1b is an employer sponsored programme.
The new rules for increasing the h1b application and processing fee are meant to tackle this exact issue.
Many consultancies are just acting as the middleman.
I guess this is the cost of entering through the backdoor.

Yes, if you are doing it from outside consultancy they will ask for money and I have seen many of my friends preferred this way and went to US and few got RFE and lost their 5 lkhs

Things is that you have to check the company history . Their success rate and then proceed .. still chances are 75 %

Ask them to cut the money from your salary. Do not pay advance as in multiple cases stamping will be rejected for these small time consultancy firms. They should have option to deduct money from your salary.

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!
