Breaking into Bank-backed AM/Corporate Banking in the US (NY/Chicago/SF) from a UK Target as US Citizen

Dear All,

Would appreciate if anyone can give me an understanding of how hard it would be to break into Bank-backed asset management or Corporate Banking in the US (either NY, Chicago, or SF) from a UK target school as an American Citizen. Thanks.
