Had an interview with Facebook for product growth analyst. I have scheduled for next round but suddenly recruiter called and said they stopped sponsoring across all boards and couldn’t go ahead with my application. I have 3 attempts left and badly wanted to make a shift before November.I heard many people joined FB recently who needed sponsorship? Did the recruiter bluffed to me? #tech #facebook #datasciencetc
No. They didn't stop
What are my options now?? Can I reach back to recruiter??
My H1B transfer is under process.
They are transferring but they are not ready to file new H1-B
Ah thats possible
What do mean by 3 attempts
I have 3 chances to apply for H1-B
Really? I am set to start at the end of September and my recruiter didn’t mention anything like that to me. Even I have 3 attempts left. Should I ask my recruiter about it?
Can you please confirm with your recruiter and lmk
sure
They were sponsoring earlier this year. Source: I won the H-1B lottery
You got “selected” in the lottery, you don’t “win” the lottery. You talk like you put in some effort to deserve the win or something.
Yeh. We all know that’s how lotteries work. You put in effort and only then they allow you to win.
Does anyone know if H-1B sponsoring start after the renaming and stuff?
No they're defn sponsoring coz i interviewed at 1 team and will schedule for 2nd team. Had no issues with h1b. Maybe for a particular role or their org isn't allowed sponsorship.
I asked my recruiter to refer me to other teams but she said they stopped sponsoring across all boards.
Ohh that could be possible (sponsoring new h1bs) because of their trouble with perm process. Confirm it with some other recruiter or someone in facebook.
