So i had this phone interview Bosch representative for over 30 mins. The discussion was going smoothly and when the lady messed up and i was so annoyed.

Lady : are you authorised to work in the united state?
Me : Yes

Lady : Will you require sponsorship now or later in the future?
Me : No. Im authorised to work for any employer in the united state.

Lady: on your Cv, what have you been doing since 12 months ago?
Me: That was when i came to united states and .

Lady: ( Cuts my speech) So you will need a sponsorship for this work
Me : No, I am authorised to work in the united state

Lady : What class of Visa did you come in with?
Me : F1

Lady: which means you dont have authorization to work in the US
Me : i have the authorization

She started lecturing me aggressively saying i will need a sponsorship for the job.

I simply told her saying "If you dont know about something, you simply ask"

Lady : Well you are not qualified for this post
Me : Whataver and have a nice day

I was so disappointed that a representative of the company doesn't know much and yet she claims she knows only for me to get a regret email 30 seconds later lol

Lagosismyhome always says to F1 students coming to the US to study. Always look out for highly ranked universities to apply to if your are looking for H1B. She is so right unfortunately Twood is also right. I cant remember how many rejection mails i have gotten due to the fact im not looking for sponsorship as i have my EAD. Almost every application i have filled will be saying "are you authorised to work in the US OR will you require visa sponsorship now or later in the future?"

Some will even say "There is no visa sponsorship for this program".

I was interviewed with one of this biggest airline in the world and after passing through necessary stages, i was called to come to O'Hare airport for futher screening.

I was asked to bring my birth certificate, Intl passport, employment authorization documents, driver license and my social security card shocked as the cbp requires them for verification before i can be issued a badge.

When i got the email, my bp increased. So many thoughts came to my mind. In this time of Trump era, me going to the airport myself with the documents, I hope i am not about to process myself back to Nigeria voluntarily.

I summoned the courage and went there for paperworks and submitted all what was needed from me.

Later i realised you need access to enter most places in the airport and they need to make sure they issue badges to the right people.

I even filled cbp forms asking me where i have lived from 10 years ago, job history of 10 years etc. It was all paperworks.

I was so glad to be out of the building. I wont blame them, they want no security breach.

I thought you said you have adjusted your status in your previous posts cos as a F1 holder,you are NOT authorised to work full time job in the US.
Don't even bother applying for these kind of jobs again until you have successfully adjusted your status cos you could even be reported to DHS.

I didnt apply to the job as a f1 visa holder buy as an "alien authorised to work for any employer in the united state" without any restrictions.

The airline knew all these procedures. I was asked fkr my employment authorisation which i provided
....
Oh ok...but you should have just told them you have a green card instead of you saying F1 which put them away from considering you or when you have AOS/EAD through marriage,is that not green card already??.or have you checked to see if your EAD doesn't have any restrictions attached.

My brother what did you expect from them when you told them yourself you are on F1 status when asked?.besides,having a work authorization doesn't means you have successfully adjusted and the process is completed.for all I know,the process may still be ongoing.
Just relax til when you have finally and successfully complete your AOS process,then you can pursue any rejection to the appropriate quarters.

If you sent him a PM before, then wait for him to respond and continue via that medium without having to post details here. undecided

Well you should have told them that before or did you apply before the change was done? I hope you were not connected to the Village People Network (VPN) during the interview? Lol looks like they encrypted your answers and decrypted it wrongly hahaha.

It's well bro. Wish you all the best.

I told her i adjusted and i have my proof of work authorization hence she asked what type of visa i had. I didn't want to be rude by saying it has nothing to do with my job application as i have already adjusted my status. She started lecturing hence my statement you should simply ask what you dont know.

The airline asked me if i am authorised to wotk in the US and i said Yes and asked for my work authorisation which i provided, looked at the date and said when you have your green card or renew your ead, let us so as update your records. Very simple.

Clearer now. You were in telling her about your F1 because your adjusted status was initially based on that and would always be referenced. Not telling her would have been seen as hiding relevant information and could be seen in bad light. All the best to you and yours.

Moving Forward,

10 Undocumented Nigerians were arrested few weeks ago and i personally know one for the.

A temp agency sent them to a shampoo company to work and they have always been stealing their stuffs(Shampoo) and one of the mexican reported them to the supervisor.

On that fateful Friday, they were working when the police came to the company and those guys were pointed out from the line and went to the manager's office and showed them the video showing they had been stealing and right from there, the police handcuffed them and took them away.

When I heard, i was so disappointed. how much is shampoo that you guys were stealing..

So what will be worst case scenario for them at the police station and IF they find "mercy", what will also happen to them?

I am so sure adjusting status will be hard for them considering they would have have a record by now even without them getting papers yet.

PS I used the word "undocumented" because if they are legal, they wont be in that kind of company btw.(No Offense)
