Guys another indian body shop employer who has history of committing frauds is in the news after 3 years. This indian employer make frequent trips to india bring innocent people from india on h-1b, promised to pay high salary, good place to stay and once they reach US he puts them to work at his gas station. He denies to pay even minimum wage and simply tell company is finding project for you untill you can stay at Motel and pay 15 dollars a day to eat. After 4-6 months he cancelled the h-1visa and tell them you can go to india becasue h-1b is revoked. He is a really mad man and now soon you will see his another face on newspaper. this indian fellow is playing games with so many innocent people. About this employer read an article on The Star Ledger dated July 27, 2000 page # 34. I know you have to do some research but do not play with your future. If you want too see or know the real picture of this person do research go to library and check by e-mailing middlesex@starledger.com
 
The story doesn't add up. Working at gas station probably won't pay motel stay plus $15/day. If that last 4-6 months, it's time to go home anyway.
 
Does he go to India, stay in a hotel, interview people, process the visa, brings them over here just to let them work in a gas station ? What is he getting outta it ?
Can you get that information from starledger and paste it here so we can see what the article was about ??
Man, you are really mad at indian companies, aren't u ?
 
get tose guys and sue the employer

You'll make some money out of it. Whats the status for your company remember your post sometime back cursing them, getting paid half the salary and so on.
Or do you just come in once in a while to put some scary stories.:confused:
 
I do not mean to scare anybody and specially to Mr. Sanu.

I am sharing my personall experience of what has happened to me. I am neither against all indian body shops consulting. Infact I believe in tough time these small IT indian body shops will help you get your status in shape. However, at the same time we should not trust someone who has the history of fraud. You can research by your own just like I did. i have the newspaper cutting that I can not post. I can give you the date July 27, 2000 page # 34 and you can e-mail middlesex@starledger.com and request if they can help you forward the article. You can also visit your local library and check microfilm or peridicals. This company is very small now only 4 employee and company moved to home business can not afford to pay rent. Purpose of my mails are to warn those innocent 4 people who are working on this company's h-1b. This company can be close any day and your medical and all benefits can be revoked without a single day notice. This is the time to wakeup. Reason for me not giving the more details is I am in a process of taking very strick legal action about this indian fellow so he may never cheat an innocent h-1b. I was told by department of labor New Jersey. He will end up paying me in full 18% of fine and could go to prison for up to 3 years and also will be baned for 10 years to sponsor any one under his name in case he planned to file for bankruptcy. I hope you understand why I am writing all this. reason why I am pissed off he owed me $24,000.What will you do if someone owe you that much money.....................you dam right.
 
Can you come out with the name of the company that duped you ? What's the point in coming out with scary stories ?
 
I think one has to think of mutual benefit when some desi company brings some one on H-1 from 18000 miles away. The Desi company (through which I came here) was not very good, I worked at a client for 10 months and then left the desi company to join the client. It was not an easy thing but the client prevailed on desi company.
Every one has his/her own views but the bottom line of what I am trying to convey is that getting exploited for a while may be ok as long as it serves your purpose and after that he best way is to move along with life and try to find new avenues.
It is always good to post one's experiences in public forums so that others can plan their moves/steps based on all the information available to them. Also people should not pass judgments on others when they do not know all the facts. It is very easy and in fact easiest thing in world to critisize/pass judgements on others.

My story is yet another horror story. This indian guy - formed a Body shop agency - started lobbying for a set of us who were working in Muscat with very decent package. Initially 3 of us were "Selected" by him for a "senior position" and finally I was the first one to turn up in US. Once I landed, I came to know that I was the FIRST and ONLY employee of his company - though he never admitted till the end. So I cautioned others not to come over. He paid me, after 3 months - during which he paid my motel stay, expenses based on bills (no restaurant eating allowed) - then once off the bench, he paid @33k, WITH NO INSURANCE.
I got a new offer from this Non-Desi company for an attractive $60k, so I decided to join - this guy took me to his office and made me sign a Bond for $100k.

Still I left him after 15 months! and he sued me for 100k. I went to court, case was turned down. Now, last Decemvber after almost 4 years - I received another notice from his lawyer and case is on on different grounds - now for $33k.

Good news for others is - this company exists only in paper - I have not heard of recruiting any body else.
 
Good griefs! I am surprised that someone will sign a bond for $100K.

Absolutely amazing! (It is surprising to hear of a company coming up with such a scheme to keep someone. But more surprising is that someone complied & signed a 100K bond!)
 
FebGCWaiter: I am not sure in what situation you were. But when requested to sign a $100K, how could you not be suspicious and on top of that sign it. It is bad that you are facing these issues but there was some naivety on your part too.

liftkarade: Why do you post the same message (and the news is in 2000) over and over again? We are in 2003, remember. If you say that you are posting for the 4 people employed with your ex-employer, why don't you contact them directly. What are the chances they will look up this forum and read your thread and realize it is the same employer you are talking about. Since you were marketing director (as per your posts), why did you not warn these folks earlier (seems like you were in a pact w/your employer at the time) but complain/warnings now once you got the boot? You knew he was bad from 2000 and the market at the time was extremely hot for IT to make a job change, etc. Something smells fishy on your part too.

On a similar note, you had posted that you are working in a company formed through your wife's EAD which is illegal. I also saw one note that you know a guy (which I think is you) who can file H1 for someone laid off . What makes you different from the rest of the Desi body-shoppers? So, relax and move on.
