A goverment agency invited me to apply for their position. Then they
hesitated about H1B. Now, they want me to go for onsite interview, which I
pay out of my pocket. 2 rounds of interviews are necessary. I pay about $150
each time. $300 in total.
I asked the manager about the H1B issue. His reply is "there is no
guarantee, but if you are the person hired, our HR specialist will assist
you."
I checked myvisajobs.com a moment ago and found that state sponsored 0
H1B in history.
What would be your decision?

USCIS AAO 已经 Rule 了
AAO Decision on EB1b about“Who’s Who in America” and Sigma Xi membership

http://www.uscis.gov/err/B3%20-%20Outstanding%20Professors%20an

With respect to “Who’s Who in America”, USCIS is more inclined to
consider it as “vanity press publications”.
On page 5, last paragraph in the bottom, it reads
“Initially, counsel asserted that the qualifying evidence being submitted
under 8 C.F.R.5 204.5(i)(3)(i)(A) included inclusion in large biographic
directories such as Who's Who in America.”

On page 7, 2nd paragraph from top, it reads
“While not addressed by the director, we note that the petitioner did not
submit evidence of the beneficiary's inclusion in the biographic directories
or evidence that these directories are more significant than vanity press
publications.”

With respect to Sigma Xi membership, USCIS does not recognize Sigma Xi
membership requires outstanding achievements explicitly.
On page 7, starting from the last paragraph in the bottom through page 8, it
reads
“While counsel lists several association memberships, as does the
beneficiary on his self-serving curriculum vitae, the record includes
evidence of the beneficiary's membership in only the following associations:
(1) ... Sigma Xi, .... In response to the director's request for additional
evidence, the petitioner submitted evidence that Sigma Xi requires "
noteworthy achievement as an original investigator in a field of pure or
applied science" for membership. Significantly, however, the Sigma Xi bylaws
provided by the petitioner indicate that noteworthy achievements must be
evidenced by "publications, patents, written reports or a thesis or
dissertation, which must be available to the Committee on Admission if
requested."

The director concluded that the record did not demonstrate that "noteworthy
achievement" as defined by Sigma Xi rises to the level of an outstanding
achievement ... On appeal, counsel notes that the director relied on a
definition of "noteworthy" not included in the materials submitted and
asserts that "noteworthy" and "outstanding" are synonymous. Counsel
concludes that even the information on which the director relies is the bare
minimum to qualify for consideration for membership, whereas membership
requires an evaluation of the publications.

We acknowledge that the director appears to have used information about
Sigma Xi that does not appear in the bylaws submitted by the petitioner,
although counsel does not challenge the director's assertion that Sigma Xi
has over 60,000 member. The dictionary definition of "noteworthy" is not
determinative. Rather, we must consider how Sigma Xi defines the term.
According to the bylaws provided by the petitioner, a publication or even an
unpublished thesis or dissertation can serve as evidence of noteworthy
achievement. While the material must be available to the Committee on
Admission if requested, the record contains no evidence that the committee
routinely evaluates the content of the publications of every prospective
member.

Thus, we are not satisfied that authorship or even primary authorship of
publications or a thesis or dissertation is an outstanding achievement.

The problem is that is a school district. The job itself belongs to
goverment. The district has sponsored teacher. But that state government
agency has never sponsored any people including IT.
The key word I used for searching is "XXX (some state) state goverment", "XX
state department of education".
