So my wife’s (who is on H4 right now without EAD) H1B got picked via a consultancy. I was aware that they will charge some 3-4k for it. But now, they are asking for 8.5k. Has the charges went up this high? If not, how much should I bargain for? TC - 230K #h1b #workvisa
they can't legally ask for fees for h1b except for premium processing fees
Really? Didn’t knew. Should I ask them to request it over email then?
They can't legally ask for payment but they can legally terminate your wife's job and not process H1B. You don't have leverage here. Btw it's easier to get a job on H4 than H1B.
Are they faking a job for the sake of H1 ? Why do they need so much money
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Now imagine that you pay the fees and then USCIS catches you and blacklists your wife 🤡🤡 would be a fitting ending
Filling fee is 10$
It's illegal for them to ask you to pay for H1B
Do you have a choice ?
Bargaining?
How can you bargain when they know you don't have any leverage?
