Frequently asked questions

Is USA H-1B Visa guaranteed?

No ethical consultant can guarantee approval. HRA improves readiness by checking eligibility, evidence strength and filing accuracy before submission.

Can I start without IELTS or a job offer?

Some routes allow early assessment before IELTS or a job offer, while others require them. The counselor will map the route options to your current profile.

How soon should I start documents?

Start as early as possible. Education, experience, police clearance and funds proof often take longer than expected.
