🟥 WARNING - Booking Slots via Agents 🟥

[JackSeal]

ATTENTION  A word of caution!👇

Sub: Pitfalls of booking visa appointments through an agent.  

It is a common practice that visa appointments are being processed through agents in India, who promise that they will get an earlier visa appointment.  They also claim that they have ties with the consular officers in multiple US consulates and that they work with them to get an earlier visa appointment. It is a common practice that many people rely on these agents to book their appointments. 

The agents charge anywhere from Rs. 8K - Rs. 80K. The consulates are aware of this and have taken measures to curb this practice.  They are tracking multiple visa bookings from the same IP address and recently crackdown a racket that had links to the consulate staff.  

The visas that were issued through these racket were revoked.  In a specific instance, an applicant was sent back from the airport after his visa was revoked was asked to re-attend the interview. 

One return for the interview, the officer asked to identify the agent from the racket who was present there. There are news that when the visa applicants re-attend the interview, they were forced to acknowledge their guilt and the visa applicants were issued 221(g). 

There are chances that the consulate may find them having committed fraud and ban their entry permanently.

 It is advisable to refrain from using agents who promise earlier visa appointments for a fee.  Consulates could revoke such visas in the future and find the visa applicant inadmissible.
