Disclosing you are an international scholar during postdoc interview
P

Hi, I have kind of a strange question. I’m a foreign student in the US, who has lived most of her life in the US. As a result, if you look at my CV, I probably look like your average American. I’m applying for postdocs now, and I’m not sure how to bring this up with the prospective PI. I don’t need the university to sponsor any visa for me (I have my own and becoming a postdoc won’t change my current immigration status). So when do I bring this up? If at all? My advisor mentioned that I don’t need to say anything unless the subject of what fellowships I qualify for comes up. Is it strange if I don’t say anything? Do I have to say something? Thank you for your replies in advance.
