In case you dont have h1b or have less time on OPT than say 2 years, FB wont proceed. Is this true? Please elaborate, never seen this with anyone else.
Who said no, can you please explain. It would be really helpful.
Probably he doesnt know. But i have faced such situation so i know they wont consider you now. But reachout to them once you have h1b
Which other companies do this? Is this something FB unique?
Yes, they do this. It is a relatively new policy because they don't have a lot of overseas offices.
Sounds like discrimination on visa
If it’s legal, is it still discrimination?
Discrimination? What have you been smoking?
Its unreasonable for company needs and business to hire you when u have only 1-2 chances remaining for lottery.
I don’t think anyone argued that in this thread. Also, saying 1-2 chances is not a good way to see the picture. It is 2 chances as opposed to 3 chances otherwise.
It already happened to me! I had 18months left on my opt, they canceled my interview and asked to contact again after having h1b. Later i got h1b, contacted them, interviewed and got offered!
I have a similar case, still you have two chances for h1b lottery. Isn’t it too strict?
Yes i can totally understand! I had even cleared 2 phone rounds then they said cant proceed now as i dont have 24 months left on opt. And canceled my onsite. I was so disappointed, i said i have 2 attempts left for h1b. But they were too strict. Thankfully later i got h1b and they considered. Did you already start interview process at fb?
