There is much talk among H1B consultants and prospective H1B seekers in India and other countries to know the list of companies declared fraud or Debarred. In fact, the US Department of labor maintains a list of this, and it is available to public. We look at these details in this article.
How do companies get into this Debarred List?
In short, a willful violator company is a company that violated the US Department of Labor Laws. To be classified as a willful violator, a company has to meet all of the below:
- The violation done by the employer is entered into either one of the below two types of enforcement proceedings:
- A US Department of Labor proceeding under INA 212(n)(2)
- A US Department of Justice proceeding under INA 212(n)(5)
- The US DOL finds that the company has either misrepresented a material fact by signing at least two H1B LCAs or has committed a willful failure.
- The US DOL has found this violation on or after Oct 21, 1998.
Most of these usually are uncovered by someone reporting and further US DOL acting on it or by random site visits and investigations. If you want more information on what willful violator is or how US Department of Labor creates this list, read Factsheet on Willful Violator.

Hi Shradha,
I was on Zion’s Payroll until January 2017 as my H1B was pickedup and approved last year. I’m with a different employer now, one of my friend got his H1 transferred on their payroll last year.
Hi Ramya,
Would you mind sharing your experience with Zion Info Systems http://zioninfosys.com/. Infact, I too have spoken to the Consultants Chris and Ryan and also exchanged emails with them to understand about the filing process.
As such, I could not gather any details on the “new H1B petitions” filed by them in the past and hence not at all aware about their success rate.
Please let us know if you got your “new H1B” petition filed by Zion Info Systems or if it was only H1B transfer.
Also I’d appreciate if you could email me at ashwin.bharadwaj@yahoo.co.in. FYI, am working in bay area and looking for H1B sponsorship for my friend.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashwin

Ardent Technologies, Inc — Trying to Threaten me with the legal notice
Hi All,
I would like to bring it to your attention about the legal notice which received from Ardent technologies inc regarding my H1B processing issue.
The company people are trying to threaten me with this legal notice, because I wrote a written complaint to in this form with all the details against the company .
Dont worry. Just reach to DOL and USCIS.
And raise compliant with them.
They will investigate.
I did that with Ebsminds and ieratech. Since they took 4000 usd for h1b visa processing.
FBI will investigate such companies and debar them for ever.
Manmohan akkavaram and Brijesh Vyas will go behind bars for cheating and taking 4000 usd for h1b visa processing.
Manmohan Akkavaram (972-876-6485) runs a big Fraud company and has cheated people like me by promising H1B
visas.
He collects USD 4000 from me and now refuses to pick my call – Beware of Fraud companies by name EBS MINDS
(http://www.ebsminds.com/) iEratech.
No Visa no Stamping nothing . All my hard earned money gone down the drain. I have lodged a complaint with
USICS and Department of labor on this fraud company so that thye can take action.
Please nbe aware of this , so nobody else pays any money to Manmohan Akkavaram and his family business for
H1B visa. They are big cheaters in the IT industry in USA.
I am stuck in India and I can give you more detaisl – +91 709 319 8849
When you chose to pay USD 4000, you decided to take the illegal route. So you should just face the consequences. USCIS may ban YOU also for ever for committing a crime by trying to get into US illegally.
well, I was told that this is attorney fees and would be refunded after I join EBS MINDS. I did not know its illegal to pay money.
So now I have lost money and no H1B as well.
Friends >> Beware of EBS MINDS and iERATECH companies.
They are fraud cheaters. They promise one thing and now I am lodging complaint with USICS and Department of labor about these companies so they can be prosecuted.
i just learned that EBS MINDS also runs other fake sister concerns by name – iERATECH, Advanced Info Tech, Siddhi, Zuritech, ebs-minds IT inc …
So better to stay clear of all these companies listed above. They are fake and fraud.
Any information about value consulting
IMPORTANT :
2 Companies that is banned by uscis and Department of Labor in USA is EBS MINDS (ebsminds) and iEratech.
Both these companies charge around USD 4000 for processing H1B Visa and when not picked in lottery or RFE
comes up, they refuse to refund even partially the Visa charges they have colleced, leaving the applicants
in a lurch. I personally lodged a complaint and glad to see that Manmohan Akkavaram, Brijesh Vyas and
Raghu MUTUKULA will be procecuted by the US Government. Thanks to all your website for hosting this review
and 100s of other applicants who have compalint against companies like this.

This review is about EBS Minds and iEratech. Fraud companies.
I have lodged a complaint with uscis and Department of Labor in USA so that in future companies like
EBSMINDS (http://www.ebsminds.com/) and iERATECH does not flourish in USA . The culprits are Manmohan
Akkavaram, Brijesh Vyas and Raghu MUTUKULA. All these 3 people are responsible for taking the money from me
(USD 4000) for processing the H1B Visa. After they took the mopney , they have not moved my Visa further
and refused to send me for H1B Visa stamping even thought the visa was picked in lottery and Approved. I
hope they are investigated by USCIS and DOL and procescuted. I am ready to be a whisteblower and provide
evidence in any court of law. Please contact me in India at +91 709319 8849
EBSMinds also goes by the name of ebs-minds IT inc, so beware of this fraud company
