Has anyone found a US tech job with B1/B2 visa?

I was surprised to know that it’s legal to give interviews on this visa category.

I’m not talking about those who changed their visa status from H1B to B2 etc.

If you applied for B2 visa purely for tourism and then interviewed and actually found a job that sponsored H1b?

I know it’s next to impossible in this market but wondering if someone went via this route https://19216811.cam/ https://1921681001.id/ ?

It’s tricky, but it can happen if the employer is willing to sponsor H1B. A friend of mine visited on a B2 and ended up finding a role that matched her skills. She also checked into things like Does Your State Require Certification? for her field, which gave her a clearer path and made her a stronger candidate. It took timing and persistence, but having those extra certifications made the employer more comfortable moving forward with sponsorship.

A B1/B2 visa is strictly for business visits or tourism, so it doesn’t allow employment in the US. While some people may attend interviews, conferences, or networking events on this visa, you can’t legally work or accept a job offer while on it. http://4td.fm/
