Question

Will you now or in the future require sponsorship to work in the U.S.?
Select an option...

Answer 1

You should answer honestly based on your immigration/work-authorization status. The question asks whether you will ever need an employer to sponsor you to work in the U.S. now or at any point in the future — if the answer is ever “yes,” select “Yes.”

Common situations and how to answer:
- U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (green card): Select “No.”
- Authorized to work indefinitely without sponsorship (e.g., certain work-authorized statuses): Select “No.”
- On a temporary visa or authorization that will expire (F‑1 OPT, CPT, J‑1, L‑2/EAD with end date, etc.) and you will need an employer to sponsor you later (H‑1B, green card): Select “Yes.”
- Currently require employer sponsorship (H‑1B transfer, need J‑1 waiver, etc.): Select “Yes.”

Example short responses you can paste into a form:
- “No — I am authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship (U.S. citizen/permanent resident).”
- “Yes — I will require employer sponsorship now or in the future (e.g., H‑1B/green card).”

If you tell me your current immigration status (U.S. citizen, green card holder, F‑1 OPT, H‑1B, etc.), I can suggest the exact option/wording to use.
