Hiring of internationals at the Fed System

Economist

Insider here..Summary:

1- If you belong to a list of 23 countries (most notably China, Iran and Russian) you will not be eligible unless you have a green card
2-If you do not belong to this list of countries, but reside overseas you will be excluded from hiring as well. Of course green card holders are safe..
3-If you are a phd candidate from a U.S. university, the situation is tricky. The Fed does not want to go for the H1B anymore. The government is taking a year or more to approve them, and being a big pain to us. Regionals feds are having another problem. They are not legally "government" but "private organizations", so the U.S hovernment is claiming they will no longer be exempted from the lottery.
The solution? The Fed may apply for your green card right after the offer is made and have you start as late as possible with the OPT, with the hope that once it expires the green card will be ready. Still very risky.. but feasible.

The good news is that all the applications have already been sent and the feds are already sorting them. They will pick whoever they want to pick and call them within the next 2-3 weeks. After that they will talk to the people they picked and present them all the conditions.

So job market meat should not be worried about anything written on EJMR about immigration and the fed.

Wow, ok, it got deleted.

In my AEA application, I uploaded a cover letter instead of a CV. Given cover letter has much less info compared to CV, what do you suggest? Am I out? This is at the board

Information helps. This is not the Fed responsibility and I am not trying to scare you but state the facts. The current political cycle is.

So is the Fed Board going only after US citizens and green card holders only?

Dear Fed, please keep hiring Aussies. We don't need H1Bs. You can have us forever on E3's, which have quick approvals and never hit the cap.

100%. It's a visa unique to Australians, and can be indefinitely extended. Only disadvantage is it is not a path to permanent residence, but if that's something that you want you can simply outlast the current administration and wait for the winds to change.

Lol, OK. Let me ask my question

I am only 2 years out with about 20 publications in low ranked journals. My best hit is like a B, some will call it B-. These days, I have been upgrading and have some pipelines should be competitive at top fields.

I applied to the federal reserve system, econ research roles. I think I possibly applied to your place, perhaps you are reviewing my CV..hahah.

My question -Do you think these many pubs in low ranked places will count against me?
