I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??

They can ask “are you eligible to work in the us” and “will you now or in the future require visa sponsorship”. If you answer yes/no respectively they shouldn’t be pushing to know your status.

I have a non-western name. I literally put “US Citizen” on my resume page on my site. 🤷‍♂️ Just don’t wanna lose out on opportunites because some recruiters are too lazy to ask or have the wrong assumptions.

I've noticed an increase in this recently. Not sure the reason, but there does seem to be more emphasis than usual on hiring only US citizens.

It could be because of your name.

Trying to imagine what else it could be, maybe it could be that so many people are living their best life during remote work by working while traveling or from some other country that she’s trying to be careful about incurring some legal or tax liability with overseas workers.

But it sounds like you have an instinct which.
