Are tech companies in the Bay Area still recruiting foreigners?

  This post suggests that your English communications skills could use some work. That might have something to do with your difficulties. EDIT to add some hopefully helpful information: > I may have 2 years of experience in the Cloud That statement makes no sense. Either you have 2 years of experience or you don't. I think if you make that statement to a potential employer it will raise a huge red flag. There were some other unclear and/or non-idiomatic things in your post but that is the biggest issue. I suspect what you meant was something like: "Though I have 2 years of experience in the Cloud ..." but that's not at all how it came across to me initially.

    Yes, I do know about my lack of English communications skills. That's one of the reasons why I want to work is the USA. As I work in a non-english company, with non-english speakers, it's not favorable to improve my English skills. If that raises a huge red flag, then it's sad. It's the same as "you don't have enough experience for this junior position". From my perpective, the best way to learn or improve a new language is to practice it in a country where it's the official language.

That's true but you have to achieve a certain level of proficiency before you start looking for a job that requires you to speak another language. I don't know where you are located but it's likely you can find many ways to practice and improve your English. There must be online communities for people pursuing that goal, since I know there are for other languages.

  I'd say that hiring is WAY down right now across the board. Worst I've seen in over 10 years. So it might not be you, or being a foreigner, it might just be nobody's hiring in general.
