Not true for EBs though.

Regardless of what BBs do, what should I do in this situation?

Why do you think it may not change anything?

Oh I just meant, if they didn't pick you for an interview for reasons other than the Visa issue, then having that cleared up wouldn't change anything. As in if they dinged you because of your resume/etc. But if you have a senior referral, yup I agree you should've had good chances for a 1st round interview, so best to check on the Visa thing.

 

Makes sense. Thanks @"asiamoney"

As others have said, should be good with the referral. As for future applications, if it's only an internship, answer yes to the 'are you authorized to work' question, and no to the 'will you now in the future require sponsorship' one. Yes to both if you're applying for FT. Source: another international student who had to go through the same pain in the ass.

 

What if you are applying for internships and plan to go for FT with the same firm. Do you still have to answer no to the "future" question?

Were you successful doing so? I mean were you able to recruit FT at the same firm?

Also, how did you learn how to answer this question?
