I am an international student not from India (meaning I won’t have a PERM backlog problem). I am applying to new grad positions and I am not quite sure if I should answer yes to this question cuz it lowers my chances which I do not want to happen.

I am p sure I can demonstrate my worth enough that my future empoyer will sponsor my visa. Do yall think it’s worth saying “no”?

    You will go through background check if you get an offer. If I was your hiring manager and the result comes back as person will need to be sponsored or will leave job end of OPT. You think that will create a good impression if your application said no? I will revoke offer because I will need to replace you in few months. More money wasted. Don’t worry about companies you think will reject because you need sponsorship, less headache for you in reality. Always answer yes, shows honesty and starts you on right foot.

      Happened once when we were hiring, we rescind an offer to a very good candidate after we found out that he lied to one person during the interview.

      OP
      With the amount of tuition that people from 3rd world countries have to pay, I cannot help but agree with you on the cancel OPT part.

    No is the wrong answer so don’t say it, don’t work against yourself.

      OP
      Did that last year. Since I got rejected by >90% of the companies anyways, the pool was too small to draw any conclusions.

    I mostly ask the candidates why don't they need sponsorship when they are on OPT. Will decide after hearing their answers
