Need Help - Optima Resources visa fraud

[mjose]

I paid Optima Resources 4500 USD for processing my H1 visa. I got picked up in the lottery but they couldn't manage to get me visa. In the visa interview I got a blue from and Optima couldn't produce the required documents. They told they will take 500 USD as processing fee and refund the remaining amount. Now it's more then two years since I paid them and I lost all hope that they have any plan to give back my money. I belong to one middle class Indian family and 4500 USD is huge money for me and I am in big trouble because of the money that I borrowed for paying them.

I have the following documents with me,

Bank statement for the 4500 USD transaction to Bank Of America.
The documents that they have sent me including the consulate package and the employment contract.
All the email communication details.
Some recorded conversations regarding the refund of money.

From this forum and some other forums like immihelp, I understood that like me many other people also became victims of their fraud. But still they are operating and cheating poor people.

Could somebody please tell me whom should I approach to file a complaint against them. Is there any official websites where I can report this visa fraud. Can I approach some lawyers in US with the help of my relatives there.

It would be of great help if somebody could guild me.

Thanks,
mjose

Hi friend!
So sas that you paid $4500! I paid $1250 to process a H1 visa to them and they said I rejected in the random lottary selection.
Me too from a poor backgroud family and I callem them like 100 times for this.
My point of contact was one of Mr. Manish there and he always says that money will be refunded soon for the last 2 years. I really dont know what to do!
Good that you have the audio conversations that you made with them, I dont have that but I have the rest of the things that you mentioned.
I dont know who can help us in this or whom to meet.
Right now I am enquiring about this through some of my friends in USA.
I dont know and I lost my hope for the money.
Let me know if you did or will get any help on this.
You can send me e-mail at <removed>
expecting a reply or mail from you

Thanks
Rajiv
