Please beware of **** ***** from Mumbai consolate

[boldm28]

Please beware of one **** ***** he has a knack of rejecting people for no reason at all
my parents were rejected also he runs a course on how to crack a US consolate Visa interview

I guess he thinks that if he rejects more people they would go this is course
so please beware

[peace]

That is shocking news. How can US consulate allow such a person to operate like that.

[acpdelhi]

Surprising. Come on man! He can't be that stupid. If you really feel he is involved in this business, shoot an email to state department, your senator, and US Consulate in Mumbai.

Here are some email addresses you can write to:


[email protected]
FRAUD
Please inform us if you have information about obtaining visas by fraud. Be as specific as possible. All information will be kept confidential.

CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
To report any criminal activity relating to US visa or passport fraud, document fraud/document vendors, human trafficking etc. Confidentiality guaranteed.

More email addresses are listed on US Consulate Mumbai's web site. Below is the URL but I know Immihelp wouldn't appreciate posting URLs here. Search for US Consulate Mumbai in Google.

dont you think i tried doing all that

I have tried emailing all of the above mentioned address , and i did not even get an acknowlegedment forget a reply

[sbg]

is he associated with the US consulate in Mumbai or he just runs his private business.

I just googled his name, and found his web site.

not sure if this is the same person you are talking about.

[immihelp]

sbg,

Yes, that is the same person.

[boldm28]

apparently

apparently he **** *****) had come on some other forums to dispute those claims

Looks like i hit his weak spot , which is what i wanted to do

He (Vo) has the right to reject anybodys VISA

BUT

he cannot Redicule /or belittle my parents that is absoultely un acceptable

i am quoting him

"WHO GAVE your SOn permission to go to US"

I have shown 20 grand

and according to him that is not enuff for my parents for 1 month to live in US

in fact he specifically asked

"WHAT you are going to eat if you are in the US"

i swear if i was answering that question i would have F'ed his happines

[immihelp]

I am little confused by these posts?

Is **** ***** interviewing people inside the US consulate? Is he part of the US consulate staff?

I thought he was just private visa consultant.

[boldm28]

He was a VO

He was a VO atleast till 2003 and then i guess he became a consultant

Do you think people need a so called consultant to attend an interview

any way it all depends on the Visa officer .. dont you agree

so who in the right mind would take up his courses

so there is something more to it than meets the eye

tht is for sure , like i said before i am not here for sympathy also i know that VO can reject anybody that is entierly upon him , but again from where i come from I cannot take it when people insult my parents

[Razor_Chief]

Confused

I saw your post in other forums too. Are you sure he was the VO ? ? ?

I googled and saw some links of him, like rediff site chat session with him etc. He gives some info but most f the time he was promoting his website, courses and a book !

[immihelp]

I don't think he has ever been a visa officer.

To the best of my knowledge, visa officer must be US citizen and must be working for Department of State. He has not even lived in the US for last many years! If I read about him correctly, he was in staying in US decades ago, something like 1977.

[boldm28]

Not all VO's are US citizens

Not all VO's are US citizens , just as i cannot prove he was the one who interviewed my parents the same one no one can disprove he did not inbterview my parents and also i am in the US for 8 yrs , how would i dream up his name just to discredit him .. i dont think so

[boldm28]

Scan of the rejected document

I don't think he has ever been a visa officer.

If you want to really get to the bottom of this I can scan the rejection letter
with his name on this

that should be enough .. dont you think ?

[immihelp]

Personally, I have nothing against him. Neither I am trying to favor him.

I am just curious. Could you please scan it and send it to me at info [at] immihelp.com ?
