I'm French, and not authorized to work in the USA, I'll need the sponsorship.

I applied to 4 internships at Microsoft and got automatically rejected after 10 minutes. Is there any questions that flags me? For example not returning to school after the internship? (This is precisely what I need, and I can't manage to find one in USA allowing this).

Another question: can I check somewhere the state of an application at Facebook? Or I just have to assume no news = rejected
Thanks,

  • You are not eligible for internship if you are not returning to school for at least a semester after graduation.

      In France the system is different. To be engineer you have to do "Grande écoles", and at the end of your studies you must do a 6 months internship. Which in France for my school lead 90% of the time to full time employment.
      Sometimes schools allow to do full-time directly but it can be hard to find with only few internship experience.

  • Sounds like a trigger built into the software, maybe need for sponsorship at intern level is one of them.

    AFAIK, Returning back to school after an internship, is even more important for a person without work authorisation because that is kind of a way to show during your Visa interview that you have a legit reason to go back to your country.

    When interviewing for Visa of whatever kind, the ability to show that you have a legit strong reason to go back to your country once the Visa expires is a must have, or else, they cannot determine if you might stay back.

      Also about Facebook, there’s no way you can check your status of application other than may be mailing the recruiter if possible. If you haven’t heard back, staying patient is the only option. All the best!
