freedom82 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi, I am currently in L1. I had applied for an H1 in premium through a consultant and got it approved without a change in status. I had paid $1250 for the premium processing. However now I have decided to continue with current employer and not to switch to H1. However the H1 consultant is now asking me $6000 since I did not join and he did premium processing on my behalf. Is this valid? Do I need to pay him $6000. Please let me know at the earliest, Link to comment
JoeF Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Did you sign a document? Don't pay for an H1. And stay away from any company that wants money for an H1. Link to comment

I suggest you to file a complaint against that FRAUD employer so that he won't do it again. We need to get ride of these employers from US. Link to comment
freedom82 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks for your response .. The employer is asking me the attorney fees since I did not join him. Can you please confirm that I need not reimburse him that amount as well and can he take legal option against me. Link to comment

In case you did it, find some good attorney to review it. In order to take legal action you need a proof. If you have the emails where that employer mentioned to pay the fee then you can use them as proof or try to get some proof against him. Link to comment
