  1. Hi Friends,
    I was contacted by HeightsIT.com from US (Houston) saying they are going to file my H1b and I need to pay some fee. Anyone having details about this company? Is it trustworthy ?

  4. Hello everyone,
    It was a bumpy ride since the day we filed for the h1b. We kept praying for this visa and asked God to help us in this. We received RFE in June 2014 for which the employer replied in July 2014 and our petition was approved in Aug 2014. After receiving the documents we went for an interview and were served with 221g white slip and all of our documents and passport was returned, it was very depressing experience. Attorney sent the required documents to the email address given on 221g and within a week we were asked to submit our passports, and surprisingly our visa was issued the very next working day. Well, it was a bumpy ride but in this journey we kept our faith on God and his ways. All glory and honor to Jesus our savior.
    I congratulate everyone on getting the visa. And would wish all the best to everyone who are waiting.

  5. Hello everyone, I would like to congratulate to all who got their H1 B approved this year. I am one of those who dint get through lottery last year and gone through the pain. Finally I got approved this year. I been in US for pretty much about 6+ years and finally in H1 B after 6 years. I did my MS in US and started working on F1 and gone through all stages in my life. I wish everyone who is still waiting for H1 and I hope everybody gets their dream fulfilled.
