I came here after a long time. one of my earlier threads is here (http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14766) . So I paid them $4500 ( 2,16,000 INR). They told me this at that time:
"We will process your H1 VISA and if you are able to get it, you will pay 20% of your salary for 18 months as our fee and your $4500 will be returned back to you in that same 18 months period. If your VISA application does not get approved, we will cut 25,000 INR from the amount you paid and will refund the rest."
Now, my VISA was not approved and hence they cut 25,000 rupees and refunded me the rest. If there were no friend of mine in USA, they may not have refunded my money. My friend actually paid them the money, he lives in US and hence may be they did not have any option other than to return the money. I think I learned 2 lessons:
I think they send emails to almost everyone in the India and lets say they get 1000 applications then they process some applications of say 3-10 applicants (just a wild guess) and get them the VISA and cut 25,000 rupees in the name of expenses from rest of the 990 applicants. That makes: 25,000 x 990 = 2,47,50,000 of rupees :o , That is a big money my friend.
If you want to have a VISA, go by real, legal rules. Don't ever try to use either illegal or legal but stupid means. Always respect the hard-earned money of yours and especially of your parents. USA is not heaven, its just a fallacy. In case of technical jobs (like Engineering /Software) If you can earn lots of money in US, then you can do the same here in India, though money will be less but there will not much difference in living a life. If you think US has big money, then you are neglecting the reality. Also think of the social environment where your kids will live. Marijuana and Guns are as easily available as mineral water in US, along with a broken society. I am not saying India is better but social structure is still better.
