Not sure if this is the right bowl, but how can international students effectively apply for paid internships or jobs ( public health ) with the hope of securing sponsorship to stay in the United States Post graduation and OPT?

It would be hard for a company to justify sponsoring a visa for an internship. Do you have a student visa that allows you to work?

Well this is for a student I know. I believe their student visa allows them do grad assistantship and internship. But if they want to get a job at the end of internship period, what’s the best approach to secure sponsorship?

Your student visa should allow you to work as long as it’s for a minimum number of hours a week. You can’t do more than those hours.

Seconding that the graduate would have to search for roles that specifically allow for sponsorship. Many companies and industries have restrictions on “non-US persons”. I’d say this person should be leveraging networking, especially at career fairs, before graduation.

Unless you majored in engineering or IT it’s very hard to secure an internship. Definitely look for consulting firms/firms that sponsor h1b later on.

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
