Thank you for your response. I am attending a college in U.S. on F-1, and I can legally authorized to work during the semester or vacation using CPT or OPT. I am considering flying to Silicon Valley this winter, but I am not sure if this is worth the cost. I don't think I can meet many people there if I do not have a network.

I have been waiting for almost 2 weeks, but I am not getting any email or phone call. This is exhausting and dismal...

Also did you send your CV to places that work on free software? I remember reading recently about how nice it was to work with Mozilla for your internship.

I haven't consider doing so. I just looked up on Mozilla website, but they are only looking for students with web knowledge. I also visited Free Software Foundation's internship, but they only have unpaid internship. I am so desperate that I am considering this option, but my family would not be able to let me do this. Their HQ is in Boston.
