Hi,
I have got an offer from Betasoftsystems .They are sponsering my H1, give a training in QA and place me.Just wanted to know if this company is good and is it ok to pay the initial deposit of abt 3000$ and my pay is supposed to be 55 k :confused: ...
If anyone knows about this company please let me know
Thanks in advance
 
why do u have to pay deposit?..... did they not make you sign a bond?

i do not know much about their past....but they look like an OK company..

try to talk to them....that you will pay the $3000.....after H1 gets approved.........

BTW can you tell me what is your qualification?....because if you have a MS degree from usa........there are hundreds of companies....which will give free training....and sponsorship

Thanks so much for ur reply...ya we talked to them ..they say its a security deposit which they intend to return after one year of contract..since they have tax benifits they are asking us to pay in cash....so in a fix whether to believe them or not...
my qualification is BE with one and a half years of exp in India..please let me know if u do know good companies which could sponser H1 ,train me and place me...
thanks in advance
 
If you have one and a half experience in India, you don't need training any more.
Training is for freshers.
Looks for other companies who will sponsor your visa.
I think you should be able to market yourself.
And QA is an amazingly easy job to do.
PM me if you want a better deal (and I don't get anything out of it).
 
3k bull

What QA's are making money...not as much as others do, but they are in demand and you can market yourself today and make enough money. Nobody needs to pay 3k security deposit...

They are no good, leave them.
 
Thanks everyone for the replies .My experience in India is not in QA ( was into maintainance and bug fixing in VC++ and VB).Since QA jobs are good in our location I want to get into QA now.So am looking for a company which can train me well in QA and place me.So was wondering if its ok to pay them 3k in cash and go ahead with the training.If anyone knows other companies who can help me out please let me know.
Thanks in advance
 
that means you are in usa on H4 or some other visa?

for one you need a H1 visa.....so you need to get in touch with indian consulting companies...

you dont need QA training......if you have experience in VB & VC++ .....are you based in Bay area?

i will try to get contact details of companies who sponsor H1, train and place people...
 
Please stop paying money to Mom Pop shop consulting firms......find an employer who really needs you and work for them....H1 and immigration system is already a mess...do not exacerbate the situation.

try to make your resume and post it on dice.com, monster.com and computerjobs.com

clearly mention that you need H1 sponsorship......you may be surprised at the number of responses you may get.....(three years back i joined my employer exactly in this fashion)


and dont severe your ties with betasoftsystem....since anyways you cannot work till OCt when your H1 will be approved.....but they will have to file your case by April 2nd......that means you should start working with them for filing your H1 around march 1st week...

I am myself a visual basic programmer...(.net)....if possible you can take out all the personal information.....and company names from your resume and post it hear.......maybe you can get better companies...

btw....go to dice.com, search vor Visual basic jobs.......and send a email to all and everyone en-masse.......with your resume.....but clearly mention in the subject that you need H1 sponsorship.....

and sorry the other companies i have heard of...are based in NJ....and i dont have any information about their quality....

hi. i recieved a call also with betasoft but they did not asked me to pay for h1 or sponsorship. actually they are paying for everything. i will be leaving soon. please let me know if you know anything about the company? is it good? is it worth ?

Thanks
 
latest news....company is not trustworthy...

they hire students on EAD, train them....put fake experience....and try to place them........

if students get job....great.......but BSS does not sponsory H1 Visa....their plan is to make money while the candidates are working on EAD....

will update in 2-3 months....when i will know for sure that they did not sponsor visa for everyone.....(right now i know they did not sponsor for 3-4 people from February-april batch)
 
trechy. Wow my life depends on this. I am just a recent grad from a university. I am certified Java programmer also. Please tell me what would you have done if you were in my position. Now i am very scared. God why they would like to risk a foreigner life. My dream is to do something for the community but this is very wrong.

Please are you sure?

Thank you sir.
 
dude sandip you need to wake up..........i hope u know that this is a dog eat dog world...

here is the scenario: BSS recruit anyone and everyone....mostly crap...

and even if they sponsor visa most people leave them after one year (end of contract)

it costs around 3500 to sponsor visa......now if they are able to make money for 7-10 months without sponsoring......given that max they can make is 12 months..........tell me what makes business sense.......

but of course this business model will not last for long because their reputation will be gone after couple of batches.....unless people are really desperate.....and buy their stories...

if i was you.....i would start looking for another company....

another way to deal with them is....go sign the contract....join them for training (crap training though, but its free with boarding).......start looking for another h1 sponsor.......save all their emails where they talk about lying on your resume etc......if they say they will file a case....just tell them that you will go to USCIS and labor department with what they are doing (faking everyone's resume).....and they will just keep quite...

i know many people left them.....because they have a crappy marking team....and i think their reputation must have gone bad in the market because they were peddling crap candidates with 5 years of fake experience...
 
Techy thanks for the reply. You dont know how much i appreciate of you helping me out. Well fake experience, almost every consulting firm will put fake experience in your resume. That is how they gamble.
I received couple of calls from other consulting companies and they said the same thing what betasoftsystem told me that they will sponsor, train and placement.
One of my friend who is working with a consulting firm told me that this is how these people make money, bu putting fake experience.
Like i said its hard for a foreigner to know which consulting firm is trustable and which one is not. Please let me know the good consulting firm company websites.
Techy can you give me the contact # of your friend who was employed with betasoft if its possible. it will be a great help for me. I would really love to get some practical experience rather than sitting at home and doing nothing.
By doing some research i came to know that the company was opened in 2005, just 2 years in business? that is where i started thinking of doing some research and seek some help online. any more info will be great.:confused:
 
sorry i cannot share any personal info about anyone...

one company i know where one guy i know joined as a fresher... www.symphony.cc

....there are many others also....they sincerely sponsor your visa and gamble.......BSS is just gambling on you....they make money in any case...
 
Thanks for the rapid response trechy. I know its all gambling. Anyway lets see what happens in the future. My options are still opened before i fly over there. If worst comes worst i will give a shot. its good to give a shot rather than just waiting at home and doing nothin.

Thank you
