Guys, Becareful with fraud related staffing agencies. I recommend all of you not to pay money for startup staffing companies like this dude talking about in email. I believe USCIS fee/Attorney fee might sum up to $3000 which has to be paid by someone in order to file the h1b but as i said earlier becareful with con artists. This guy seems to be a Con for asking 10K for h1b sponsorship since it should not cost a anything. Guneuine employers not talking about money openly in forum. According to law, H1B employer can not charge any money for h1b from the candidates however most of the employer take the Needed fee of $3000 as a deposit in order to file the H1b and in stance of joining the company, they will refund the ammount (typically after working for 3-4 months with petitioning company). In other hand, H1B could get approved from the US however US Consulate in kathmandu is not required to issue to the visa if they think there is no outstanding job oppertunity in US through the said employment the h1b petition, they will issue the 221g In order to show the job oppertunity, company must provide project specifications, contracts and purchase order to US consulate. Startup company like we discussing here most likely does not have anything in such nature which will ultimately result into denail of visa and revokation of H1B petition. I suggest people try to come to us on h1b visa should contact reliable staffing company which has good placing histrory as well as has job oppertunity in US. Paying 3000 to 4000 for administrative costs as well as Govt. fee will not hurt since you can claim that money from h1b sponsor once you start working in US. Eitherway, becareful with con artists and scam-artists who is just trying to get your money and no results.
