We don't deal with agencies because they are expensive, We just have to get some papers for you from the United States Immigration Services showing that you are truly coming to United States to work for my family.

We'll send the documents to your address and you present to the American Embassy in your country to get your visa within 2 weeks then my husband will book your plane tickets to the States from our family insurance, Can i have your address where to send the documents.

Thank you.

Not all scammers ask for lots of money. Some scammers, like this one, initially direct you to send a smaller amount. If you send this money, they will then invent a new (higher) fee to be paid for something else. Their belief is that if you send a first payment, you are very likely to also send a second payment, because you have already financially committed yourself to the (fake) arrangement.

We have contacted the U.S Immigration Services for the making of your visa papers and found out that the making of these paperworks will cost $50. My husband instructs that you pay the $50 for the visa documents while he makes your flight bookings through our insurances, Or would you get an agency to help you with this?
Thank you.
