Have any of you noticed that it takes long to get an offer letter after the final interview for positions where you need a visa sponsorship? As a US citizen applying for jobs in the EU, it seem that offer letters take 2+ weeks to be prepared after the final interview. Is that typical, or is it due to other issues surrounding the visa issue?

I don’t think it’s a visa issue, could be because of the field/type of work you do.

I’m working in the UK on a skilled worker visa. Current job had an offer letter within 24 hours of final interview, initiated visa application the same week.

Job I’m switching to took 2 working days from final interview to written offer. it’s based on my sample size = 1 though so take it with a grain of salt.

That’s a fair point, thanks for the insight! I work in the construction/civil engineering industry and have 5 yoe, and this new position is with Accenture Belgium Industry X Infrastructure group. It has been one week since the final interview so I am itching to know more. I guess I can just email my HR recruiter, but wanted to check on potential timelines first.

Posted! Thanks for replying/the advice!

I currently have my EAD based on my OPT with an addition 2 year renewal. I have also submitted a marriage based GC application in Nov 2021, did my biometrics currently waiting on my interview. I have an offer from a tech company and want to leave my current employer. I am worried if I tell my upcoming employer about being currently on OPT they will freak out and take back their offer even doh I can work and don’t need their sponsorship.

Do I have to tell ? Has anyone experience this before?
