SA 2020: Stuck in a foreign country
Hey everyone. I was supposed to join a BB in NYC as an IB SA this summer, and my bank has recently announced that our program was moved online. I am an international student though and got stuck back in my home country (not the US), as my college didn't allow me to stay on campus due to the pandemic.
My country is currently under very strict quarantine, with literally no options to leave until at least June (though quarantine will likely be extended until September due to how bad it is here).
Is anybody else in a similar position? Would I still be able to legally complete my virtual internship while abroad?
Don’t say a thing and get a solid VPN to the US.
An update for you all: due to the pandemic, USCIS has actually allowed international students to use their CPTs for remote internships even while being abroad (https://www.ice.gov/doclib/coronavirus/covid19faq.pdf - proof).
