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?

You’ll have to fill out an I9, so they’ll know anyway. It’s illegal to discriminate based on status, so you’ll be fine. They’ll just make you re-verify I9 based on expiry date.

As long as you can legally work (right now) they shouldn’t care. I don’t believe you are even legally obligated to provide them any immigration paperwork until you’ve accepted the offer and they onboard you. Are they asking for your legal status to work at this stage in the hiring process?

No they have not. I was sure preemptively worried about it.

Wondering if I’m making the right choice

Does anyone think it’s a good idea to beg for a job and put your personal life out there to get sympathy, because that is what I am seeing every day on LinkedIn and then the recruiters and everybody will comment and send the jobs and they will end up with a job or interview the next day.
I’m getting close to the point of doing that because it seems like it is working.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Please suggest on this. I had interviewed at tcs 2 months back and din receive any feedback. Now again am getting interview call for tcs. Should i attend it or its wrong to attend within 6 months?
