If bootcamp recruiters told you that you could spend six months in their program and not only get a FAANG job but a work permit/visa they lied. The US visa requirements are not malleable for bootcamp grads with no significant experience. If someone told you they went from high school to boot camp to Google I would check into that, sounds more like a shill from the boot camp.

I hope you learned some useful programming skills and met some people you can keep in touch with at the bootcamp. Those places are getting a reputation as scams, and several of them have been caught flat out lying to applicants and students, padding their placement numbers, and making promises they can't possibly keep.
