Important Awareness for Indian Immigrants in the U.S. Regarding Immigration and Business Opportunities
Important Awareness for Indian Immigrants in the U.S. Regarding Immigration and Business Opportunities
This post is intended solely to raise awareness among members of the Indian immigrant community in the U.S., particularly those pursuing immigration assistance, student visas, or investment-based pathways to residency. It is not intended to defame or disparage any individual, and all statements should be interpreted as personal experiences or community-reported concerns.
Over the past decade, several individuals have reported experiences with a person operating under various names, including Venkat Padmanabhan, Venkat PA, and Karveti P, who presents himself as a well-connected advisor offering assistance in areas such as religious worker visas, student placements, and entrepreneurial ventures. Allegedly, individuals were promised U.S. immigration support in exchange for substantial fees, with outcomes often falling short of expectations.
It is claimed that this person has operated under multiple business names and addresses across California, New Hampshire, and India, and that the same pattern of behavior—promising legal immigration support and then allegedly failing to deliver—has been repeated with multiple victims. Several people have also shared concerns about being persuaded to register businesses in their names, only for those entities to be dissolved later without proper closure or return of funds.
Entities reportedly associated with these activities include:
Jayaditya Technology Solutions Inc
Registered in Beverly Hills, CA (since 2007)
Additional known locations span Los Angeles County, Orange County, and Hillsborough County, NH.
Individuals seeking immigration-related services are encouraged to verify the credentials of anyone offering such support, check their business legitimacy through official channels (like the California Secretary of State or USCIS-accredited organizations), and seek legal counsel before committing financially.
If you've had a similar experience or want to verify someone's legal status as a service provider, you may wish to contact the appropriate consumer protection agency, a licensed immigration attorney, or consult with your local consulate.
This information is shared in good faith for public awareness and due diligence purposes only.

F2 visa rejected
I recently applied for an F2 dependent visa to visit my wife who is currently studying in the US. The VO asked me a few questions.
Me: Good afternoon Sir
VO: No response
VO: pass me your documents
Me: Provided passport and both I-20s
VO: What's your wife doing in the US
Me: Explained with details
VO: How is she funding her studies
Me: She got a student loan and our savings. Recently she also got a graduate assistantship job.
VO: What kind of job is that
Me: Explained in detail
VO: What do you do?
Me: I'm a senior software engineer working for company x (explained some of the job responsibilities)
VO: How will manage your job
Me: I'll be on unpaid leave for 3 months that has already been approved and I can provide an approval letter.
VO: Does a lot of typing
VO: unfortunately I cannot give you a visa and hand over a pink slip
I honestly felt bad since my wife has been stressed out and she genuinely needs my support. I regretted why we chose the USA for her studies.
My intentions were very genuine because I have a good-paying job here in my country yet I was denied.
Any advice please, this is crushing me.
Should I reapply and hope to find a different VO or should I pursue the route of F1 as well?

Need advise on F1 immigration
I have H4 visa. And I recently got my F1 Visa stamped, and at the port of entry, I was denied entry on F1 Visa, and the officer asked me to enter on H4 visa. So now my I-94 shows the entry on H4 visa. Because of this, I won't be able to apply for CPT/OPT. Are there any legal options through which I can get entry on F1 Visa?
Please suggest to me, if can I apply for a change of Status or travel to Canada/Mexico and come back on F1 or travel to India and come back on F1? Which one will be a good and easy option to change my I-94 entry to F1.
