Even my career advisers at college tell me the data from H1Base.com is useless and out of date.

Our college used to subscribe the services from h1base.com, so I had a chance logging into their system years ago. So difficult to use. So useless. I will not pay even 1 dollar for it.

When I asked the career adviser how to use H1base.com, she said they no longer recommended it, because they received too many complains. Some students fall into the scam and paid hundreds of dollar for some non-existing services.

H1base charges several hundreds to allow all students in one university to use their services. And then try to scam every student another 2-3 hundreds dollar.

Anyway, H1base is just scam. Stay away from it. There are some many fake reviews and false statements about H1base.com, just be aware of them.

Thank you very much for this post. I was almost convinced with the services offered by H1Base. I am not saying that I jumped into a conclusion that this company is a spam. All I am saying is that, if not for this thread, i would have not considered that it is one. Thanks!

I’m not sure about H1Base and I’m positive that spending around 200 USD on a service that is not guarantee is not too worth. I’m still looking for sponsorship but I’ve got some interviews and also an expecting company, and that’s all thanks to the Craigslist app I’ve downloaded for my android phone (CraigsNotifica), where I sent my cover letter with my resume attached to the companies that were listed on my search results. I have also downloaded the Monster and Jobs app but haven’t used them yet, so I may have more chances after I start using those apps. I just wanted to give an advice to everyone that’s reading this post: make a good cover letter, resume and spend at least an hour or two a day sending them to as many companies as you can (that match your skills of course) and I’m sure you’ll have great responses.

I really think whatever cj or for that matter admin said is right i am an indian looking for an h1b visa. so far i had given toefl and got 95 marks, obtained an i20 for study purpose. but my purpose to go there is to get a job while working so why wasting time i thought and was looking for a good job which is h1b. i have read the complete review and arguement of admin and different persons about h1b base i think as a married person i should literally let fall the idea of going to us and working.it was my dream but of no use now. let me work here itself in india.

Cj admin site is right, you get what you pay for. Like anything in life. Do it yourself or pay for services to help get better results. I haven’t used a company services yet but been trying myself for 8 months and it’s lot of hard work to get a company for visa. If u can afford it it’s better. We are all different people from different parts of the world. There is no guarantee for peple

I don’t usually comment on thread but I spent about 300 box to get th premium service from h1-b. They seems ok but I did not get anything out of my investment yet. They redesigned my resume for me ( not a lot of improvement though) and sent my resume to a couple of companies. I know it’s true because I received one email from a recruiter asking me to apply directly to the company career website. apart from that, oh well they are not really useful. They have cool gadgets that allow you to see all jobs available on different website( monsters, gradstaff…) at once. This is by far the only benefits I got so far.

At the end of the day with any with any service you pay for just do whatever research you feel comfortable before making a purchase. You could buy an airline ticket on US Airways and you could buy a ticket on Singapore Airlines. Both of them will give you a flight but it will be totally different experiences. Same with buying a Mercedes or a Ford. Ultimately just assess the price of the service you are paying for and what it would realistically cost in terms of time and resources to achieve the benefits of that service.

To start with, H1Base is a fraud company. They attract people claiming they will send their resume to thousands of companies, which has sponsored H1B Visa in past for similar field you are applying. They also claim they will help in preparing resume for you.

We took their offer on face value, paid the money and realized our mistake when they replied back with the resume, which they were suppose to make more marketable. It was almost the same what we had sent them. They just did some copy-paste contents here and there.

Comes next, their resume blast service, for which they claim that they will provide a list of companies they sent our resumes to. When we received the list, it had some entries like “0″, some companies which closed down few years back. We even tried to track down the companies and made call to them and ask them if they receive resumes from H1Base, and not a single one confirmed about it. None of them had heard about them and they could not even confirm if they received any resume with our name.

When we talked to H1Base customer service agent about these, they were defending that the list is right and that the resumes were sent. Since they allow sending resume again after one month, we tried same process, and again this time we got the same list and when we called few companies the reply was same, that they have not heard of H1Base and also never received any resumes from them. We again talked to H1Base customer care asking them to provide some contact information of the companies where they sent to resume, but they refused to provide that as well.

Overall I can say we did not get a penny worth of service from them and they also refused to refund the money.

Please DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THEM.
