When talking about immigration status and whether you need sponsorship, especially if you're trying to live and work in a different country, these questions come up a lot and are pretty important. If you're asking someone about their green card, it's usually good to ask in a nice way, maybe like 'do they have permanent residency?' or 'are they a lawful permanent resident?'. And if you're talking about sponsorship for something like CPT (Curricular Practical Training), you might ask if they need sponsorship for their work or study visa. People usually ask these questions carefully, knowing that immigration stuff can be tricky.

I had a 30-minute phone chat. It felt like I was already a finalist, so the interview was more of a formality. The interviewer was a former faculty member, and she was nice.
