Intel U.S. Immigration Sponsorship Policy

Intel will sponsor foreign national employees for work visas and permanent resident status for U.S. positions where it experiences a shortage of qualified U.S. workers. These jobs are Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) contributing positions requiring Master's, PhD or Bachelor's degrees in related fields with at least three years of relevant post-Bachelor’s degree work experience. Since we typically do not experience skills shortages of U.S. workers at the undergraduate level, foreign national students at this level without requisite three years of post-Bachelor’s degree work experience are not eligible for Intel immigration sponsorship.

Foreign national undergraduate students may be eligible for undergraduate internships in STEM-contributing positions provided they are enrolled in U.S. Bachelor’s degree programs and they have work authorization (e.g., OPT or CPT) for the period of the internships. Likewise, foreign national graduate students may be eligible for graduate student internship consideration provided they are enrolled in graduate level programs after completing their Bachelor’s degree and they have work authorization (e.g., OPT or CPT) for the period of the internships.

Intel also hires employees with work authorization that do not require Intel sponsorship (e.g., DACA, TPS). As long as the applicants have a valid employment authorization document (EAD) and they are able to work legally without sponsorship, they are eligible to be considered for open and available positions.
