A paid-internship is just a different word for a job....so NO its not doable! You must be authorized by USCIS(i.e. have an Employment Authorization card or a Green Card) to accept employment before you can take a paid internship...sorry.

Good luck,

Really? I never knew that. How is an unpaid internship different than volunteered work?
