Year Founded: 2004

Company Size: 11-50

Working Visa Policy: Confidential

Green Card Policy: Confidential

Before Covanex Inc can hire foreign workers, whether permanently or temporarily, it must submit labor certifications to the Department of Labor (DOL). These certifications confirm compliance with wage requirements for the specified job locations.The reports below summarize Labor Condition Applications (LCA) for H-1B visas and Labor Certifications (LC) for green cards filed by Covanex Inc. This data represents only the number of applications submitted and does not guarantee visa approvals or worker hires.

The LCA data includes applications for various purposes: new employment, continuation or changes to previously approved employment, new concurrent employment, changes in employer, and amended petitions. Typically, only LCAs for new employment require an H-1B visa cap if the employer is not cap-exempt.For example, Covanex Inc submitted 4 LCAs and LCs during fiscal years 2022 - 2024. However, this figure does not necessarily reflect the number of foreign workers hired, as visa applications can be denied. Additionally, employees renewing or transferring H-1B visas or changing work locations may need to file new LCAs.

The DOL generally certifies more than three times the number of foreign worker requests compared to the H-1B visas issued by USCIS. Therefore, there is no direct correlation between the number of workers certified by the DOL and the H-1B visas issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Hi , I was EX-Covanex employee. I would like to share the experiences which i have encountered by associating Covanex . I see only one review with **** . I am really surprised to see this.This review was written by either Director VGPV or HR Admin KJS(DUMMY OF MILLENNIUM).I don't want some one to get suffered like me and many others who have joined Covanex and got cheated miserably .Good Job means Correct Pay , Good Clients , Good Vendors , Paying salary in time ,Good Projects .But everything is different in Covanex Inc ,we need to find the job by our-self as there is no Marketing team,Robing employees showing all false bills.Worst Insurance no contribution from Company.Before joining the company he says great things about the company nothing will be implemented once you join.No official communication through email ,so that we don't have any proof. Has one fake email-id all the illegal communication will be done using this fake email gmail id.Always try to squeeze the blood from employees till they die.We need to find project by our self if you rely on Covanex Inc we never ever get project and remain on bench for ever. No clients or Vendors ,Small Office with just two rooms.Many employees joined this company and while leaving director tortured asking them to pay thousands of dollars by showing all fake bills.Foe example if the billing rate is 65$ , he will not sleep until he gets 25 dollars as margin. Most of desi consultancies are not good but this company is worst of worst.Already lot of complaints went to Labor on behalf of this company and soon this company will shut down their operations.Do not join this company and spoil ruin your life's.Rule is simple "trap the employee rob as much as you can ,suck the blood as much as torture him till he leaves the company by him self again trap new employees". My sincere suggestion to current employees is please find some good consultancy and leave this Covanex asap the more you stay with Covanex the more you get tortured and robbed fully.
- 8/2/2013 - Yes I completely agree with the above statement.Please stay away from this company.Worth to stay 3 months if already joined not more than that. - flag

Dear Friends , Please for the GOD Sake DONT join this Fraud ,Blood Sucking , Dangerous company. I got trapped in this company by sweet words , false promises .The company is owned by V G P V,this person is director .He has two dummy candidates one is HR Admin and the other sees Accounts , No Marketing team , No clients , only one vendor ie CTG .He does marketing by himself with fake ids created by our name and deals the Billing rate with proxy guys.If billing rate is 70 $/hr . he informs we are getting 40 $/hr .When we are in Bench only one interview we get from Vendor and if we could not crack it then we will be in bench for ever as there are clients or vendors .Insurance is big fraud ,says he will pay 50 % but whole amount is deducted from employee.HR Admin is thick skin who does not have any brain only acts on that directions of the director who is real blood sucker VGPV.Says he will do Green card but never , even if we do green card with this company our case goes will never ever can clear even Labor also.His main goal is to trap the employee with sweet words , false promises. There are people who joined this company and did not had pay for years. Department of Labor is Scanning this company very closely on the operations , as they have violated 100 % of the rules. I am damn sure this company will be shut down soon by Department of Labor as the complaints on this company are going at very high rate.If you join this cpmpany forget about earning ,you will end up paying to this company minimum 3000 $ per month.Company is of 2 rooms, HR Admin name is KJS,who is just and puppet who don't know anything what frauds going on, everything is driven by director VGPV.The director is so cheap , if an employee joins company first 2 months he will be nice and from third month real color comes out.Its open robbery on the employee till he leaves the company .For H1B extension he collected 15,000$ dollars , for green card he charges 20,000 $ .Never files LCAs . Only has projects which are 2 months , worst projects whose billing rates are very very high ,so that he can make huge money in first two months only.Location of the jobs are terrible where no employee can work in that locations.Always says Benefits of the company , paid vacation , insurance , HRA ,HSA . No employee will ever ever ever can get these benefits because he will never work for more than 3 months continuously. For example till now if there are 100 employees worked in Covanex Inc ,then I am sure that these 100 employees had sleepless nights , frustration , discomfort , miserable life leading while associated with Covanex Inc. If employee billing is 65 $/hr , then he will be informed he is getting 50 $ /hr only and in that 70-30 % or 80-20 % . Brain Eater will make call for hours and eat brains till you say give me what ever you want and will never think to argue with him better to loose 5-10 $ no problem rather than getting our brain eaten for hours.In short joining Covanex Inc is more like END OF OUR LIFE.

- 7/23/2016 - Hope Mr. Srinivasa Rao Kasa understands that it is not an employer's responsibility or liability to cover the costs of abortion. If you paid 600+ for abortion you have to work with the insurance company to cover the costs or pay the same from your pocket. insurance policies come with deductibles and out of pocket costs and you should take care of your own abortion costs not the employer. - flag

★★★★☆ - Very good expirience - - - 7/23/2013 - flag as inappropriate - comment
I have worked for Covanex since January of 2011. In that time I have worked closely with the Director on several occasions. I have never thought of him in a negative way. He has always listened to me and we hold a good rap ore.

I have enjoyed the company and the benefits it offers to employees.

If at any time I have needed anything taken care of; the HR Staff have taken care of things appropriately and in a timely manner.

I have NEVER experienced anything negative as the reviews claim. I am not one to cause trouble either, but we all know that there are a lot of people who want things handed to them, not earned. Causing themselves trouble in the long run.

Please donot join this company, these folks will not stand on their promises, a very big fraud company.

If any one is ready to file a labor compliant on this company then Venu will learn a lesson from it.

Till we join the company they will say as they will maintain and follow as per the documents, but none of words will put in the email, After 2 or 3 months, they will start how to deduct money from paystubs in different ways. they will not pay the salary correctly.

These guys will collect H1B fees from the employers itself.

[Name Removed] is very big fraud,cheater ,blood-sucker .Do not believe this company , they do not have any ethics, if you don't have any option as well don't join this company, these guys are really cruel and no mercy as well.

I'm begging you guys don't join the hell(Covanex Inc)
Karen J Stamp - 7/22/2013 - Again, a disgruntled former employee, hiding behind anonymous.

If a person was truly done wrong by Covanex, they would sign the complaints they post. Not hide and point finger.

     Karen J Stamp HR Admin - 7/5/2013 - Here at Covanex, we go out of our way to keep employer & employee relations maintained to the highest degree possible. We offer fair competative wages, usually higher than the standard. We offer a wide range of benefits to our salaried employees: Very good insurance, HRA, HSA, FSA, 401k, as well as a great vacation & paid holiday plan.

Covanex has been a wonderful Company to me as well. I have never worked somewhere where family has been encouraged above all else. I am very happy working here, and feel that our employees are very well treated & maintained in the highest manner.

This post is a direct insult to one person, not the company. It is obvious that this posted message was intended to hurt one person. However, the person who posted this post did so anonymously to hide. If the accusations were true, the person would not feel they had to hide their identity. - flag

The employer is a big fraud. Everything is illegal with this company. Please do not believe what he promises. Nothing wil be communicated writtenly. He does not hesitate to attract people by making false promises on the phone. He will not file the LCA properly, no one is there to manage the emplyee records, no marketing, a big robber, employer earns more then the employee for nothing, Employer is a big big big big liar. There will be many email ids for this company and all of them are operated by him only. If he likes any what we say, he will unonymosly agree. If he dislikes, there wil be partners coming up who never exist. Once we move to a new job, the LCA will not be updated and he keeps unnecessary discussions for nothing. He is a brain eater. On the top of this, he has his own taxes(which are high). We have to do another job to pay his taxes. Let me give an example of his marketing stratagies, he creates a resume with his contact email, contact number and speaks to the vendor on our behalf. He will not let us know the billing rates. He will terribly lie. He will not pay properly. He informs about a pay cut only after we get our pay. The pay cut will be meaningless. There is lot more to say but its all about a useless fellow. Friends or enemies, please do not fall in his trap. This is my sincere suggestion. There were no reviews about him and so I had to trust him. Please do not repeat the same mistake.
Karen J Stamp - 7/23/2013 - LCA's are updated with each location change. This is a requirement from USCIS. Each position must be posted for 10 days per each LCA. All CLA's are saved and filed per employee.

I assure you that this person was not happy due to their pay cut from the client (after a budget meeting the client had to cut costs across the board), so the disgruntled employee takes it out on Covanex. - flag
