A friend in Texas (CS grad student) told me that in their university’s Indian student WeChat/WhatsApp groups, there are TONS of ads like:
- Guaranteed green card in 3 years!
- No H-1B lottery required
- No employer sponsorship needed
- Works for F-1, OPT, tourist visa
- Price: $20K standard, $50K VIP (includes lawyer, coaching, fake documents)
The process is shockingly organized. Upon arrival, they enroll you in a small religious group and provide a fake baptism cert. Further file for religious asylum with fake documents and coached persecution story, and at the same time, arrange a fake marriage as a backup track. If both fail, push you toward TPS or fake EB-3 sponsorship.
The VIP package even includes:
- Professional “interview coach” for asylum & marriage
- Full RFE (Request for Evidence) handling
- Refund partial fees if both tracks fail
Some desperate Indian grads really fell for this. A few actually got green cards.
But others were caught: FBI visits, deportation orders, permanent bans from the U.S.
And guess what the agencies say? “We only assist, you bear the risk.”
if anyone promises a “guaranteed green card,” 99% chance it’s a scam.
