Guys if u share ur credential would be so useful & helpful for us ,future applicants

congratulations :)
U have done great work
do u need visa ?
NO I am Pending GC. I mentioned that 4-5 interviews where to the programs that didnot grant visa. meaning i got those cause i don;t need visa. and almost most of the programs i received emails after emailing them. and check that vacancy site often sometimes preliminary intern years do pop out there.
