Websites for reviews of H1B Sponsoring Consultancies in USA. Desi Consultancies /IT Consultants

I was just browsing and found these as interesting to share for H1B seekers who wish to look for a potential sponsor or transfer between consulting companies. Supposedly, couples of these sites that I list below are very popular and were quoted in CNBC article of “America’s high-tech sweatshops”.

Goolti and Desi Crunch

The reviews are mostly anonymous or given a Tom, Dick and Harry name… Some might be misleading, but something to check out! There is no guarantee that the reviews are right or wrong, the websites disclaimer is clear on this…Good motto by the desi cruch to bridge the gap among various H1B visa desi consultants.

Note :  Most of the below comments about H1B Sponsors are negative.  Please be aware that these are comments added by individuals of companies, competitors and many others that may hate such companies. We do NOT vouch for any of the comments made as they are not made by us.

    • Couple of ppl have asked about it here and the latest post (somewhere on this blog) talks about them being frauds. Couple of ppl have also posted that they are legit but don’t have any projects in US so even if they file, the success of approval is very low.

      hope that helps.

      • Hi Arun ,

        How r u so confident in saying that Max consultant by Kalyan is a fake company. I myself have visited their office and found it quite decent . If u have any confirmed source of information about the genuinity of Max …then please let me know . Do u know the concerned person personally ??? will appreciate your early reply.will be really helpful.

        • Hi All,

          I am in USA since quite sometime and know this kind of fake companies… When someone contacts you regarding such requirements, ask those companies if they are eVerified by USCIS or not and get the details… also ask them regarding which company would provide the LCA for any such opening and go to http://redbus2us.com/h1b-visa-sponsors/ and check for the entire history of that company like since when they are filing LCA, how many LCAs per year etc….

          And lastly if they are saying that companies like Delloit, IBM etc would provide the LCA for the requirements, they are completely fake as these kind of MNC companies never recruit H1B candidates for their requirement…. If they need also, then they would go through their own offices in India not through any such fake consulting companies like Max consultant.

        • Hi,
          I have the same question on maxconsultant. I did not find any reviews on internet, nor any details in myvisajobs.com. I read on the forum that it was set up on Dec 2013, hence no past history. I have been in contact with them for processing my H1. They are saying that their attorney is advisor to their client companies (they have DTCC, Citi, ebay etc in the list) and an interview will be set up directly by these companies. I am not sure whether this will really be the case, as such companies can hire in US or outsource to other companies). They are also saying that petition will have the client company name. However i am not sure about this. It may just be XYZ company they have set up which in turns works for the client companies. They also say that after petition is approved, based on willingness of employer, employer will file visa (stamping). Which means even after petition is approved, i will be dependent on availability of projects and other documents(like client invite letter) for stamping. What if they don’t have projects at that time. Thru the forums, I also came to know that the owner of the website was caught in a visa fraud case in 2012. This creates more doubts.
          If someone has more information about this consultancy, please post in this forum for the benefit of everyone.

    • I have alredy applied for H1B through Max Consultant, Hyd. I have already visited their office and had a word with Mr.Kalyan. He did explained me very clearly abt the process. I have cleared my interview with Diverse Linx & waiting for next update.

      Process is going clear as per my knowledge.

      • Hi Karthik,

        Thanks for the info. In your case, would you be employed by Diverse Lynx, on their payroll and work for one of their clients? Will Diverse Lynx file petition for you? Would the client do any interview? Or Will they let you know about this only before stamping? And do you know if Diverse Lynx works directly with the clients or there are vendor between? (EVC : employer-vendor-client model). I may be asking lot of questions. Just want to get an idea of the staffing model involved. Would be great if you can provide info on this.

      • Hi Karthik,All

        I have also applied thru Max and they have collected 500USD for fraud detection fee by way of DD.

        I had received an interview call for about 5 mins and was told employer was Cognizant. Currently, I’m being asked to pay the premium processing fee and sign other related documents to file LCA. I’m being told that, offer letter from client would be receibed after 10th Apr. Can you help with directions or provide your contact details. I will call you.

        • For those still seeking H1 sponsorship, please be aware that there’s no more time to file for H1B visa. Forget about it. The work now should be focused on 2015/2016.

    • I have applied through max consultancy. I submitted DD of $500 on the name of USCIS. They told me that the employer will conduct interview in a day or two, and if selected then they would take it further. I did not get any call for a week or so from any US employer. Suddenly one day, they called that the employer has selected my profile without conducting any interview. Then they sent me a mail asking to pay $1225 payable to max consultancy for filing LCA petition. I asked them to mention the name of the employer who has selected my profile. They are telling that they don’t have this information and the attorneys in US are having these details. I asked them to get the details from their attorneys, to which they said that the attorneys are busy filing petitions, and they will give the employer details and offer letter in second week of April; so I am in a fix now whether to pay $1225 to them or not, as their chances of being fake or genuine is 50:50; if anybody is in similar situation or have any suggestions, then please respond to this post.

  15. All these SOAP To Manager guys went thru these BIG 5 Companies and did all politics closing the doors in all ways.

    Now we are suffering to find an opening for US.

    I bet if h1b had a mandatory rule of IELTS, 50% of current guys will not clear.

    Dont know why it was not there, many mechnicals/Chemicals/pharmacy/BA graduates are working in US for technical roles including mainframe engineers/like leads/ managers etc …

    I have a 6 Yr Degree with Post Graduation and researching on on on on and on, i could not get a single reasonable opening, if there was interview fine, not even that had happened.

    Hmmm, only god knows, when will this wheel of fortune rotate for us to US.

    This new bill has a option of MERIT Visa, and No DV for H1B, seems like they will never get it done, its stuck

  30. Hi everyone

    I am a US citizen and have several friends who have H1 visa but are being enslaved by their employers who sponsor their visa. They are consultancy firms that do not help them at all. I find that I am spending the time to help them find job postings, apartments to stay in, and listen to their problems while th it employers are taking half of their hourly pay! Even worse is that their employers send them around the country where they can get better paying contract, while my friend’s pay does not change. So I feel very bad for them and all of you who are working very hard away from your families and home, as someone else makes profit from your suffering.

    I was wondering, is it difficult to start my own consultancy? I want to be able to let my friends choose where they want to work, and get better pay, and ultimately, I can help them apply for a green card as their “employer”. I want the best for them and hate to see them being exploited. Would it be easier for MW to set this up and sponsor them, especially when they already have H1 status? Thanks so much for your help! Maybe if I can set this up correctly, I can help all of you too!

    • Sandy,
      It looks like EVC model (employer-vendor-client) where EV have a contract and VC have a contract. Note that H-1s filed under such model have higher chance of rejection during processing and stamping phase. Try to go w/ a direct vendor (say the consultancy who has direct association w/ the client).

    Reply
    • dcarlos,
      They prefer those people as then they can avoid the stamping. Usually consulates are very strict about issuing visa to candidates applying through these consulting companies. When the person is inside US on a visa, these companies can apply H-1 along w/ COS (change of status). Once approved, the person can start working in US and is not dependent on getting H-1 visa stamped until their next trip outside US.

        • Legally, the company is required to pay for the H-1 fees. They can only ask you to pay for attorney fees and premium processing fees.

          When deciding for a company, ask them about their clients. With consulting companies, it is very difficult to get visa approval w/o direct clients and the small consulting companies do not have that. You can also ask them about their past approval rate (you can also look it up online).

          These companies ask you to pay for the fees to shift the financial risk on to you. I don’t think they will even think of returning the money to you in case of petition/visa denial; and often the denial is b/c of a reason related to employer/job and no fault of yours.
