If people don't respond to a question, instead of assuming that they know the answer and are purposefully ignoring you, assume one or more of the following: 1. The question is not clear, concise, or focussed 2. No one has anything helpful to contribute, and you really don't want to see 2000 "Don't know" responses to every single question on the list. You will find, however, that the US (and Canada, but to a lesser extent) is not as "international" as Europe. Very few companies actively put together or support internships meant for those outside the country. You may find that your best bet is to do all the legwork, and apply for a regular internship emphasizing that you'll do everything required to meet VISA requirements, forms, paperwork, etc. Still, it's a larger burden on HR than normal, and if they've not done it before they'll likely refuse simply based on the fact that they don't have to in order to get interns. It's not too different from why many companies in the US refuse to ship internationally. "We've never done it before, we don't need to in order to maintain our profitability, and we don't anticipate that we'll get enough reward to cover the perceived costs and risks." You might target those companies that are based in Europe of have a Europoen presence with offices in the US. Atmel, for instance, would probably not have this issue.
