Hi all, I am trying to apply to banks in the US right now, and I was wondering if anyone have any information on which bank sponsors H1-B Visa right now. I know most of the buldge bracket banks are okay (even Citi and B of A? can someone confirm this?) However, what about middle market shops? like Jefferies, Raymond James, or the other middle market shops?
Thanks!

I know BBs do it. A lot of the MM firms also - RBC, Jefferies, Baird etc. Piper does not. Not certain on William Blair and Harris Williams. Your best bet it to just apply wherever you can and mention in interviews etc. that you need sponsorship. Also, the applications ask if you need sponsorship.
Do banks sponsor H1B Visa for summer associate internships, specifically TMT on the West Coast? (Originally Posted: 10/07/2015)
Just wondering if the big banks sponsor H1B Visa for a summer internship for an associate? I am doing my part-time MBA while working full-time, but I am interested in doing a summer internship in a TMT group at one of the big banks in SF next summer.
If I get the internship, I will be quitting my full-time job and am wondering if the bank would sponsor my work Visa for the duration of the internship? Has anybody gone through something like this? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
No. H1-B Visa is inappropriate for summers from a process perspective. Applications must be submitted by April 1st, decisions are not rendered until June and the Visa is only good starting October 1 that year.
You should look in to a J or F Visa.
Ah ok. That's different. I was under the impression that H1-B moves with you, so I don't think you need to worry about firm applying again. But I'm not knowledgeable about that. Sorry.
I believe the answer is...all companies do...as long as they really want to have you.
Check this website for information on companies that filed h-1b petitions.

If you dig enough on the USCIS's website you will find a report on all the companies that filed petitions in the past fee years, including the number of petitions being filed.
Would it be possible to take enough credits to get full-time status and get OPT status or whatever it is that lets internationals do summer internships? Take one-week intensive classes, etc.?
thanks guys, I will look into it. I only need one of them to take me...then again, dont we all.
HW and William blair and Baird don't have NY offices?
