H1B Beneficiary Attestation at Hyderabad US Consulate

US Consulate at Hyderabad has introduced a new required document for H1B Visa stamping called H1B Beneficiary Attestation.

This H1B Beneficiary Attestation document requires that you read the Wilberforce pamphlet. Wilberforce pamphlet is a document/hand out given to certain visa applicants by US Consulates which described the laws and rights as a non-immigrant visa holder in USA. The New H1B beneficiary Attestation asks you for the end client name, petitioner name, work location, supervisor etc.

This is a document particularity and indirectly intended to caught Fraud IT companies and this form asks for the data about a h1b worker and employee-employer relationship.

It is clear from the H1B Beneficiary Attestation rule that US Consulate of Hyderabad is targeting Indian IT companies in a new way and want to reject H1B visa applicants based on employee employer relationship.
