Having just got a J1 visa myself, he'd be well served with J1. It lets you work in the US for up to 6 months in an internship. Might still be time!
I think it takes time though to apply for the J1 visa. I remember the process to get mine being 6-7 weeks and I was interning for a UC university, meaning they have 'easy' access to it.
Why do you want to intern? Seems like with your skills you could just work (and get paid for) a real job.
Agreed, if indeed he is using "internship" to mean "unpaid internship". Far too much importance is placed on unpaid work these days, particularly in tech, and it just isn't needed. He clearly has enough experience to spend his summer doing actual work, and should be compensated for it.

Meta keywords in HTML source include palo alto and california, so that's a strong indicator. > But there are some pretty cool startups in Europe too, and given that Slovakia is part of Schengen he wouldn't have any problems with the visa if he were to work in Europe. Schengen does not abolish visas across member states, as they had already been non-existent. Schengen removes border control. Visas and work permits are…
> Schengen does not abolish visas across member states, as they had already been non-existent. I think that's not entirely true, as countries like Switzerland or Norway are not part of EU, so they have had visas which were abolished with Schengen.
One piece of advice: don't put C, C++, etc on your resume unless you're really comfortable with those languages and want to focus on them. Your resume highlights your design skills and projects using web technologies. Great! Focus on those!
For example, your Github has no examples of C programming skills and your resume doesn't highlight any projects where you'd likely use C. If you were interested in getting an internship where you'd primarily be programming in C you'd be better off focusing on highlighting projects that interest you which use that language. You'd stand out if you had contributions on Github or your own libraries or applications on Github written in C.
Hey Marek, I see you've been accepted at UCL, would you like to check out what London is like? We at HackCampus http://hackcampus.io/ could offer you a 10-week internship at some amazing startups (GoCardless, SwiftKey, Kano and more) in London this summer. It's well-paid, and we'll give you free accommodation over the summer with a batch of other awesome student hackers like yourself. http://hackcampus.io/internship/…
Thank you.
As a 20 year old I'm frustrated that your eye for design is way better than mine, but at the same time, I'm also frustrated that you're listing projects and they're not on your github, nor are they apparently deployed at all... The images aren't hyperlinks. * Wire clothing - there are a billion clothing brands with wire in the name, which one is yours? * VIDBY - google search shows nothing in first 3 pages. * Mobile…

Thank you guys! :) I will probably add this feature or just send people more detailed portfolio via e-mail.
you are getting feature requests. Are you getting serious offers?
and they say geography isn't destiny. a design like this can get a solo founder a $2M valuation on an idea in the valley (making him an instant millionaire), whereas a slovakian is trying hard to close an internsihp (meaning he hasn't gotten $8/hr, or 1/250000th of that amount.) 1/250000th.
I think you need a little bit more than a website to get a valuation...
