So here’s my story… After I e-mail the HR lady from that company she replied to my e-mail about 3 days later saying that the company was not in a position to sponsor my visa, nor to pay the one time fee the immigration office requires the employer to pay. Although she said all this she also mentioned that she was familiar with the H1B process since there was one person on staff who was in my situation. So I though… hmm weird so they do have one person in staff who is sponsored but they are not willing to sponsor me. Oh well, I said. So I called her to discuss the issue further and she explained they had some kind of policy that kept them from sponsoring visas, YET they do have a member of the staff in my situation. So I though Oh well…. I guess this is it… I’m not gonna get the job.

So two weeks go by and I had made up my mind that I was not getting the job so I moved on and kept looking for other opportunities. Last Friday while I was up in Boston for my sister’s graduation I received a voice mail. It was the HR lady asking me to call her back. It was already to late to call her so I waited until today Monday to give her a call and we’ve been playing phone tag.

No my logic is that if I hadn’t gotten the job she would have just left a message or even sent me an e-mail saying “sorry, we chose someone else” but she wants to talk to me. So I’m thinking… maybe they wanna give me the job and they are willing to re-consider the visa process? I don’t know what to think. I guess I have to wait until she called me back today. I hope I have good news for you soon!!

So I followed my gut and your suggestion and I e-mailed the HR person at the company this past weekend. She should have gotten the e-mail on Monday. I explained what the visa process was and I made it clear that it really isn’t that big of a deal… mainly just paper work that the attorney takes care of. I also told her I would take responsibility of all fees, etc. So far I haven’t heard from them in regards the job. They said they would have an answer by this week. I’m growing nervous and anxious about this. I guess I’m gonna have to just wait. I was thinking waiting until tomorrow afternoon before make a follow up call. I’ll keep you posted on what happens.
