Positive. No US company will bother with visa headaches for an intern regardless of how exciting the cover letter is. Further compounded by the fact that he's from Egypt, which is a 3rd world country with a highly unstable situation. I suspect you were never exposed to all the pleasures of the US visa process, which would explain your rather naive view of the situation.
- ikonst 12y agoInternships in European countries are entirely plausible. US visa situation is an exception to the rule among developed countries. For example, Facebook has London offices, which is their go-to solution for US visa troubles. Egypt might be "3rd world" in somebody's book, but I've never heard about the visa process being particularly racially biased (at least US visa process).

- rgovind 12y agoIts not about racial bias. Its about background checks, and making sure that the internship is genuine and in one of your uncle's US companies. Plus you should appear confident and genuine, in the in-person interview.
- reubenbond 12y agoMicrosoft bothered with the visa headaches for me when I interned from Australia. It makes sense, too: internships lead to full-time positions.
