Processing Phil. nurses to go to U.S.A.

Why not just go through an attorney in the 1st place? That would make more sense...If ------ is in a country other than the Philippines, then it's going to be hard to press charges against them if they are a scam...The story sounds pretty fishy to me...Sounds like she got taken for her money....

Just because she paid money for her processing, there is never any guarantee that one is going to automatically get a visa for the US. Was she denied based on something about her, or because the attorney did not include something?

One pays the money to have the paperwork completed and the documents submitted; including the fees to immigration. There is never any guarantee that one is going to get to the US.

And chances are that she is going to be looking at much longer than two years for a chance at a visa, the retrogression has been in place for more than two years already.

If she is concerned, then she can contact the office of the Attorney General for the state of Colorado and have them look into things.

Hi! I have already paid the 6,500 USD. So...chances are...I have to wait for whatever will happen with my visa. It bugs me every night.

Please tell me it isn't a scam.

You have just proved it as well. The H1-B visa requires that 100% of the costs be paid for by the employer and not one cent of it is to come from the employee; whether paid before, or taken from the pay of the employer later on.

This is grounds for an automatic denial on the part of immigration.

Guess that they forgot to tell you this as well.

Hi focusnclex. I have read of that name. And in same place...Colorado.

How's it going for your friend? Is she already ok?

I have no way to contact you. I am new here and still have to determine how things go here for the private messages.

You need 15 posts before you are able to use the private messaging function, however members that post just to boost the post count will have non contributory posts removed.
