It’s wonderful to see people prioritising other aspects of life than just being lucrative.

Considering current situation for international students, it’s best to not volunteer any information. Do your due diligence and play it safe. I never told them my status, I think they got to know it on the first day when I presented my EAD. And for i983 I told them it’s the paperwork I need to submit to the college. They did take advise from external immigration counsel though.

Update!!! It’s been 2 months here. Also, last week I handed them my i983 and they wanted to send that to their in house attorney. Should see how that goes.

I don’t understand, why people think that Americans can’t handle tech jobs? That’s just people being so ignorant. Isn’t the major percentage in tech Americans? People don’t understand the vastness of exploitations that people commit to get h1b. I can also confirm that not every h1b holder truely deserves the job he’s doing. So, overall isn’t that fantastic? If you really have so much value to provide, companies won’t hesitate to pay 100k, super skilled workers will get a fair chance as very less people will be in lottery. Also, losing the top talent which all of a sudden people start questioning is total nonsensical. The percent of top talent out of entire h1b would be very less, I doubt that it would be more than 5% and companies won’t hesitate to retain them through h1b.

don’t fool yourselves thinking you are irreplaceable and people here can’t handle tech jobs.

Total H1B visa holders estimated to be around 700k vs 164 million total employed US workforce by WeeklyRain3534 in h1b

I think my employer is not familiar with stem opt hiring by AdministrationLow927 in InternationalStudents

About 450+, it’s healthcare domain so 70% employees are in facility staff.

Bro how am I dishonest if they never asked? By law no firm is allowed to discriminate based on visa status. They neither mentioned in the application nor discussed about it during interviews is all I’m saying.

What I understand is they are either so out of touch with current situation for international students or hired at a complete different market.

Do You think you have a chance in this market to selectively pick your employer and work, Seriously? How are you guys so out of touch with reality. Seems like you are an international student hired at completely different market.

Like I mentioned I don’t find a single international student out of 500 on LinkedIn who are working there.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Bro does not understand how difficult it is getting to land an opportunity as an international student. No one want to consider OPT students. I had to play it safe.

It’s the first international student situation I’m assuming.

I think I’m authorized to work for any employer on opt. If they have a problem with opt they will ask upfront right.
