Career Resources
London is a great spot for IB roles or other finance opportunities, it is your home after all (assuming you were born / raised in the UK).
There are many different ways to get to the US from the UK or Europe (or elsewhere):
1) Apply for US internships (as a student you do qualify for the J visa)
2) Graduate in the UK and start working in the UK, then ask your employer to transfer you on L, H, or E visa
3) After graduation, you could study in the US after UG in the UK. Then you would qualify for F1 and then CPT/OPT.
4) After graduation in the UK, you could try for a H1 sponsorship from abroad. Unlikely to happen, but you never know plus, legally this is a route that is permitted.
5) Your family members may provide sponsorship (if they are US citizens and all other requirements are met)
6) Interrupt your studies in the UK and transfer from your school to a US school and then go through F1, cpt/opt, H1b, green card, etc
7) Participate in the diversity lottery if you qualify; you might win the green card (countries that had a lot of immigration in the past do not qualify)
8) Immigration based on extraordinary skills (if you are a published professional in the field of business, sports, research, etc)
Many other options are available if you are holding a UK or EU passport.
Best of luck to you.
Thanks a lot - will look into these.
How common are internal transfers? And how soon can they be done?
