Immigration Gone Astray

So i get a call from ______ _____ Financial asking me to come in for an interview. I clearly have the OPT then H1B sponsorship listed on my resume, I end up driving about an hour to Connecticut and have a great one hour interview. Going over what the company does, how they set up personal financial advice to so many clients etc etc. He pretty much offers me a job right there on the spot, but wait of course when i bring up the visa he quickly says they don’t offer that and they even have a current manager who they are they trying to get one for but failed. Said did the one year OPT and would cost them 5000 to do it and a 40% chance of getting one. Not sure if these numbers are true but what anther waste of my time. Thank You so much
