Maila dai, Let me ask you few questions to you directly 1. There are 1000's of nepalese student looking for H1 sponsor here in US (see all these sajha thread) and he is sending an e.mail to folks in Nepal asking for 3000 advance deposit. what was thr reason behind this. 2. When called to find out about the refund ( deposit) he didn't answer the question instead he said its all in that e.mail. I'm the one paying for one of my friend and he doesnot want to disclose the information after he found out that I was in US. Looking at these 2 points I doubt that he sponsors H1 instead he will get that 3000 dollars from 10 -15 folks and do the same thing 3 years from now. Bottom line is He is from Dallas area what you expect ( No offense folks from Dallas)
