How Murthy Law Firm get paid

Mid-range

Confirm exactly what you will be charged, and what happens to that money if your visa is refused. Get it in writing before you pay anything. An agent that will not put its fees in writing is telling you something.

I had worked with them on my H1 extension, they incorrectly calculated the time and put wrong date for my extension which ended up in RFE, They were rude to me at first when I asked for RFE reason and asked 1000 dollars from me to resolve my RFE. Murthy Law Firm is openly looting people. Stay away from them and save time and money.
