Dear Ashwani: I am following this thread for some time. I was also under the impression that a Visa cannot be transferred from India, Then I called a Immigration attorney in US, who explained to me that it can be done. Your understanding may be wrong that You can NOT get the Visa transferred from India, You can get the Visa transferred/Extended from India, It is called "Consular Processing". Please check with the Immigration Attorney, I can recommend checking with a qualified Immigration attorney (www.murthy.com) for free consultation.

This would be my first time ever to write a comment like this. One of my friend recently got a call from this company and they offered him for visa transfer. He already has stamped visa but he is in India and is somewhat desperate to come to US as soon as possible. He asked me to check if this looks like a good company or not. My understanding was that he cannot have visa transfer if he is in India so I was bit curious too. It did not took more than 15 minutes of search to know about this company. The reason why I am writing this is to help other people make an informed decision. Following are some points to be looked at carefully.
1. The company is targeting people who are in India and have stamped h1b but the employer has not sent them to US yet.
2. You can find this from the stories as well as the LinkedIn where the recruiter has constantly posted it. They are utilizing on the desperation of the people.
3. Some of the comments here claim that they have so many green cards in process but a quick check reveals that so far only one GC application has been filed by the company.
4. There are lots of people who have posted in this thread as if they are very much happy with the company and as if they are working in US. A quick check shows that they did not do a good job of lying, almost all of them except for one who is probably the owner has listed India in their profile.
5. Some one posted the passport number of some person which tells how much real the threat is, the guy probably missed that his threat can very well go against him if the complaint wants to go ahead.
That is good enough for my friend to make a informed decision.

I feel that Mycon has helped me and shown me the right path towards getting my H1B transfer done from India successfully. There was no problem at all that I faced as they did regular follow ups on calls/mails and provided regular updates regarding my candidature. I am very much satisfied with the kind of work they do in terms of visa transfer process. Let me know if you want to know more about this company as I know lot of fraud companies exist in today's world, but you can be rest assured about Mycon as it is my personal experience that has been wonderful with them. Now I am in U.S and happily working on their one of the client's project.

Many Thanks!

It seems that the complainant has many things to hide, he/she is not furnishing the true picture, I can say that because I have known Mycon guys for a very long time now and they have been helpful throughout. I got my H through them almost 2 years back and Mycon did not take any money from me to transfer the H, all the expenses were borne by them and they asked me to furnish all the true details and not hide anything from USCIS.
I got my H approved within a month and have worked for different clients through them, my payments have always been on time and all the benefits are provided. My GC is under process now through them but it's taking time coz of authorities, as far as Mycon is concerned they were very swift in all the procedures.
I give Mycon a big thumbs up.

I got my Visa transferred from US successfully. I did not had any issue, Client provided the letter, Mycon filed H1b properly, all fees was paid by Mycon, I moved to new client location. Everything is good for last 6 months. Now I filing Green card through Mycon. Green card is slow but its not the company, its the USCIS which takes years to get your green card approved. I give Mycon 100%.

I had a BAD Experience with DOL / US Consulate, I complained to DOL about a company called First-Tek a NJ company. DOL asked me information about FIRST-TEK and I provided, Nothing happened for 1 year. In March 2014, I went for my visa stamping in Mumbai Consulate from another company at the time of interview office asked me about previous Petitioner (FIRST-TEK). Question to me 1): Have you ever complained to DOL regarding any company. I said YES, 2) Name : FIRST-TEK, 3) WHY : I gave the reasons 4) Sorry We cannot give you the visa. I asked him why, He said sorry NO visa for you.
Why DOL gives
I was told by First Tek that they revoked my Visa and provide USCIS a copy of the negative comments I put on one of the Indian website, They included a copy of DOL complained when revoking my visa, Now I am F@@@@@, is there anyway to get the visa or should I forget to go to US.

I think you need to check the details that you are providing as I have very good and pleasant experience with Mycon, I got my H transferred through them last year and the process was very smooth and quick how can you say that the persons names are fake, I personally met Arun and Ritika, they both were very helpful and courteous but they cannot help you at all if you provide false information as they always insist to give the correct details only. If in your frustration to go to USA you provide false details then NO company would be able to help you, I know at least 5 people in my acquaintance who have had their H1 successfully transferred through Mycon and 2 of them are under the process of GC getting done through them and all are very happy.

Thanks,
Aditya.

My experience with Mycon has been wonderful, I had been looking for an Employer to transfer my visa immediately. Mycon helped me and expedited the process for me as My H was getting expired on 30 Sep 2014. I am in U.S now, very happy with the clients they have and interviews are happening very fast for me. The transfer process was quite fast and I will surely recommend my friends and colleagues to go ahead with Mycon as the team is really very professional and co-operative starting from the transfer process from India till now, I am very thankful to The Managers and the team who have helped me to get through the process smoothly.

Thank You So Much.

Mycon give offer letter Immediately so that guys can give money immediately. Be sure to get receipt of every payment with legal Bank account. Don't give money to third party bank account. Put a DOL complain against them, it doesn't need money to put a DOL complaint.

I have been associated with Mycon for many years, there is no company in
the world, where you get everything for nothing but Mycon is one of the
best in it’s tiers. In my so many years of association with Mycon I
have referred many candidates and all of them got the H1b and some got
Green card approved.
The candidate referred (Saurabh Kumar Agarwal, DOB: 1st July 1983,
Passport Number: F2247337 ), we know who you are, If you think carefully
you lied and gave false information on your application and lots of
UNTRUE information, you were not consistent in your decisions and kept
providing false information, You were so desperate to come to US that
you provided incorrect and Untrue statements all the time, when you were
confronted you started making excuses and provided even with more
wrong/ incorrect and Un truthful statement.
Even your wife will lose faith in you if you are keep providing false
statements to her, No company will proceed further if candidate lies to
them. You mentioned that you were desperate in coming to US, it does not
mean that you can provide fraudulent documents or false statement or
excuses and get away with it.

Hi All,
My name is XXXXX and I am writing this note on behalf of my friend who was fooled by Myconsoft two months back only.
Mycon did not process my friend’s h1 transfer even after taking $1500. My friend is being threatened by Mycon that if he posts his feedback on social sites like immihelp, glassdoor etc, mycon will not only reveal his passport and other informations on the social sites but also will send legal notice to him for defaming Mycon. Mycon also mentioned that my friend will not be able to get job anywhere.
He is very upset but cant share mycon’s story due to the threat given by Mycon.
I HEREBY DECLARE THAT MY FRIEND IS NOT AWARE THAT I AM WRITING THIS FEEDBACK AND WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FEEDBACK AND CAN NOT BE SENT ANY LEGAL NOTICE BY ANY ONE.
To be very frank, it is not only Mycon who has cheated my friend but my friend only did not use his brain and could not understand how cunning mycon is.
We tried to convince him many times that he should not go with Mycon as this company was looking as fraud with the way it was behaving, but my idiot friend was frustrated to go to USA as he was unable to find any other employer in India.
My friend has already lost his $1500, but I am writing mycon’s feedback so that people like him should not be fooled anymore and must avoid going with Mycon. My friend did a six months research before he opted for Mycon, Arun Sharma and Ritika will behave as if they are the only well-wisher of you in this world before you pay $1500. But once you have paid $1500 then they will not promise anything on email. They may/may not call you to promise you anything but will never give anything in written.
Guys, I believe that it was mistake of both – Mycon who fooled my friend as well as my friend who was dying to go to usa.
I am writing few events which happened with him, its upto you now how you comprehend the whole episode.
- My friend who had approved petition and valid stamping could not get chance to fly through his current employer. Mycon first approached him in Oct2013 for H1 transfer with an offer of $65-$68k. My friend did some research but decided not to go with Mycon and started finding other employer who could sponsor his visa transfer.
- My friend could not find other employer who could send him to USA meanwhile Mycon contacted him again in March.
- Mycon gave an offer to my friend but on email. They said that once my friend deposits $1500, then only offer letter will be given (Awkward isn’t it? However once my friend submitted $1500, they gave him offer letter of $82k with NO signature on it)
(Warning – A company which was offering only $65-68k earlier, suddenly agreed to pay $82k)
(Warning – How come they are not giving offer letter unless a person submits $1500)
- After few emails were floated around, MYCON said that they have an urgent opening in USA and client cant wait for so long. My desperate friend paid them $1500. Now once the money was paid, scenario changed completely.
- First they asked my friend to sign a document which says that your $1500 will not be refunded in any scenario. My friend who dint have any option, had to sign it.
(Warning – T &M were signed after money is paid ?)
- After requesting many times, Ritika sent him one page offer letter with no signature on it.
(Offer letter without signature ? Also u cant avail a single leave for atleast one year as per the offer letter)
- Mycon then asked my friend to resign because they had an urgent requirement and my friend had a notice period of 45 days. So my friend resigned as money was paid and offer letter had come.
- Ritika who was calling 3-4 times in day to get the money, suddenly gets busy and does not respond before 4-5 days.
- Her Indian manager Arun and USA manager Andy Neil (Actual name is different) become so busy in client meetings that they could not get any time to start with your visa transfer.
- Finally after my friend begged them to start his transfer process, they filed his LCA after 15-20 days of money transferred.
- However they never sent a proof whether LCA was filed or not.
- Later on they said that my friend’s LCA process (which took $3500 according to them) has been denied and they can not proceed with my friend’s application and asked for balance $2000.
- (Please note that actual LCA filing does not take a single dollar and Transfer process had not even started)
- Now the biggest twist : Mycon said that if my friend really wants to go to USA, he will have to pay another $3000. Mycon will again process my friend’s application on highest priority and this time LCA wont be denied. (They knew that my friend is serving notice period and had no other option)
- This time my friend dint gift them $3000.
- Everytime my friend asks for his money, Mycon either asks him to pay a balance of $2000 or $3000 if he wants to proceed with his visa transfer.
- Mycon has my friend’s all information and they have threaten him that Mycon will reveal his passport information and other details to everyone in case he begs his money again.
- My friend who has 11 years of working experience is still looking for job after two months of this fraud.
Guys please don’t believe Ritika(fake promises on telephone only), Andy (fake name) and Arun(fake personality).
They have 1bhk office in Kalkaji New delhi. They have even smaller office in a town near Boston.
Also, when my friend said that he will complain to USA authorities, Andy and Arun laughed saying that they will not even entertain Indians.( from previous such experiences ? )
If you are in USA, then u may still think to go ahead with mycon but if you are in India, don’t ever entertain this company.
Guys, its all your decision now as every case and experience is different. We can just share our experience. That’s all.

They will not submit your profile to their client until they are sure that you are authorized to legally work in US. I also had to go through background check and drug test after selection but before start.

Looks like they replied to your resume submission and you are saying that they did not bother to call you back. I feel that you have something to hide. Did you provided them your work authorization documents ? Are you authorized to work in US ?
