American Express does sponsor work visas for some positions, but not all. If the interviewer asks this question, they want to know that you are legally allowed to work in the United States because they will not pursue visa sponsorship for the position you are interviewing for. Suppose employment eligibility to work with American Express in the US is required. In that case, that will be listed in the job description, so you should be aware of this requirement before your interview.

Focus on being brief and to the point. If you are legally allowed to work in the United States, simply say that you are. If you cannot work in the US, be prepared for the interviewer to end the interview since you do not meet this requirement.

It is best to be upfront about firm requirements. If the job description clearly states you must be legally allowed to work in the United States, you should not apply to the position if you do not meet American Express's requirements.

"Yes, I am legally allowed to work in the United States as I was born here and am a US citizen."
