Internships
Our Association will assist in identifying companies in Seattle that offer internships, but will not coordinate or find internship positions for you. There are a number of resources available from Amazon.com, such as the popular Peterson's Internships. If you are interested in obtaining a position as an intern with a company in Seattle, you need to make the contact and secure the position. There are very strict Unites States Governmental restrictions on employment of Foreign Nationals in the U.S. If you are securing a position, you must have the appropriate visas allowing you to work in the United States prior to your entry into this Country. Under no circumstances can you enter this country on a tourist Visa and expect to work - it is against the law. Obtaining a visa takes a lot of time so start early. The following link will take you to the US Government web site on Visas. Read it carefully: http://travel.state.gov/visa_services.html
