Here is the thing. Please advice. My OPT expires on June end. Recently I got in touch with one Indian consulting firm who is willing to sponsor me H1B visa. The chance of rejection as per my consultant is 0%. They will place me in one of the financial or otherwise company (the names were rather fancy haha); the location could be anywhere in the country. They will take 20% cut from my pay for a year and after that I am free to explore my option or stay with them. Regardless they will not take 20% from my cut. Since I have some experience in the financial sector, I do not have to take any training courses. The catch however, is; I have to pay $3900 to process my H1b, payable upfront. $2200 for INS. $1500 for Attroney And $200 for some processing of some sort. This $3900 will be paid back to me once I get placed and they will not charge 20% commission until my amount is reimbursed. The chances of placement are very good as well ( Otherwise how will they get their commission re. ) Aba yesto bhancha. I would greatly appreciate if any of you who have gone thru this process can help me out to make a decision. Thanks.
