A request to the fellow immigrants and non-immigrants, please ask your vendor put "fraud famous Ace Technologies" in the blacklist and ask to stop doing business with'em.

Raj emptied his bank account of $6,000 for a training course arranged by a company called ProEnhance. Another Delhi-area company, FCS Software Solutions, was to provide the actual training, which was to be followed by a job at the New Jersey branch of a Milpitas company called Ace Technologies.
The initial training was incomplete, Raj says, and he eventually had to file a police complaint just to get the company to start working on his visa application. Even though the visa did come through, there was no job waiting -- not in New Jersey, not in Milpitas, not anywhere.
But Raj headed overseas anyway, paying his own way and hoping to catch on with some other computer firm stateside. He traveled throughout the East and Midwest looking for work, but nothing materialized. He finally retreated back to India last summer.
Raj isn't entirely defeated. He and his lawyer are continuing to press a case in Consumer Court against ProEnhance and FCS, although ProEnhance is already out of business, and FCS denies any complicity in the case. The chief executive officer of FCS says his firm has no relationship whatsoever with Ace Technologies, the New Jersey company that was supposed to supply Raj with the job.
''We're totally separate companies,'' FCS owner Dalip Sharma told the Mercury News in an interview at the company's headquarters in Noida, a New Delhi suburb. ''There's no business relationship there at all.''
But FCS's own corporate literature says it's a wholly owned subsidiary of Ace Technologies and, further, that it acts as ''the arm for Ace Technologies for filling their demands for software professionals . . . in the U.S.''
And one other thing: Sharma and the owner of Ace Technologies are brothers.
Chandra Shaiker of Ace Technologies said his brother's company is independent and any company literature to the contrary is wrong. He said Ace Technologies has no relationship with ProEnhance. ''We have heard the name, but we have not ever dealt with that company.''
Many job contractors are genuine enterprises that find qualified Indian techies to work on a contractual basis at companies in the United States.
And most H-1B applicants know precisely how the visa system works, how the shady consultants operate and how the risks can stack up against them in the United States. In their desperation to get overseas, most applicants readily sign restrictive contracts that bind them to consultants.
But questionable linkages like that of ProEnhance, FCS and Ace Technologies are not uncommon in the H-1B process. Some of them combine shady training courses with the unscrupulous ''body shops'' that either defraud Indian workers outright or falsify documents to procure H-1B visas for unqualified applicants who are willing to buy their way to a visa.
