Hypothetically, yes, they are correct. But, in practice, this is not going to happen. Unless you are particularly special or have a particularly unique skillset (NB being a helicopter pilot is NOT one of them), then a US company is not going to offer you a job unless you already have a 'right to work' in the USA.
