Bme2005, How much did they pay for premium processing? Were they for business related majors? I have only seen many IT related people suceeding in going thru these indians. They say it is just 20% comminsion for a yr. That too they will not charge until I recover my $3900. But bholebabaji says, it could be as much as 60% of my pay that they might take. Business related ma garko koi tha nabhayera alik k garne k jastai cha. Meghna, they are in NJ and no you need not be in the same state when you are applying ( it aseems so), but they can place you anywhere in states, depending on which client company you might be hired in.
