The user’s former employer applied H-1B I was granted a visa five times, but none of those applications were selected in the H-1B lottery system.
After several failed attempts, the user decided to make a last-ditch effort to obtain a visa, contacting a consulting firm and paying nearly $700,000. This time, the user’s H-1B application Being selected by lottery brought hope that the American dream could finally come true. After the draw, the visa application was successfully submitted. But the entire process took a negative turn when the petition was later rejected.
“Finally, I decided to give it one last try through a consulting company and paid nearly 700,000 rupees. This time, the H-1B was selected and the application was successfully submitted. Unfortunately, the application was later rejected due to errors and problems in the consulting,” the user wrote.

Based on this claima consulting firm that pays a low application fee for small employers. However, USCIS records show that the consulting firm has approved more than 80 H-1B petitions in the past three years, according to the post. Because of these records, USCIS determined that the consulting firm was ineligible for the reduced fee category.
USCIS then required the consulting firm to pay the remaining fees and submit supporting evidence. The user said additional payments submitted by the consulting firm were bounced but not paid. The consulting firm failed to provide required documentation requested by USCIS. According to the notice shared by the user, the petition was ultimately denied due to these fee-related and documentation issues.
