Will Consultancies apply all H1B applications?

Hi,

Recently I heard from one of the consultancies, that they have around 130 requests for H1B filing.

But that they are planning to file only for 40 candidates. I am really confused here.

So what will they do with the remaining 90 requests. I sense something wrong here.

Because, all consultants demand money for H1B visa processing.

If the petition didn’t get through in the lottery, they will return all the money except Attorney fee. (Approx $800)

I suspect that, they will not apply for 90 petitions.

But they would tell the candidates that their petitions didn’t make it through the lottery…so they will take back the attorney fee alone and return the rest…

So I think, that they will gain 90 x $ 800… This is just my hunch… But I may be wrong…

But I want to know if this happens…

Also I need to know, if my consultancy has REALLY submitted my H1B visa petition… Is there a way to track it… to my case specifically…?

Please clarify…

Thanks…
