US Visa for International Student (Masters from LSE)
Hi,
I completed my masters from LSE earlier this year. I have been looking for opportunities in the US. But, I hear that a lot of banks are unwilling to sponsor international candidates this year. Does anybody have a list of companies that are prepared to sponsor students?
I am an Indian national and am looking for jobs in accounting/finance in the big banks, MBB and big four.
Please help. Thanks.
Interested as well! Also, where did you 'hear ' this? Is this because you don't have a US masters or because internationals are not getting sponsored at US MBA programs as well by Banks?
At least in India, the general belief is that thanks to the new US government, it's practically impossible to get a H1B.
I would urge you to check with your friends in US MBA programs to see whether Banks are sponsoring H1B or not. There is lot of misinformation out there and the best way is to check with people who are studying there. Also let us know when you get to know.
I find it strange Big 4 don't sponsor. Have you looked into it?
I don't really know whom to ask to be honest. A lot of big banks state that they accept all applications and sponsor visas on a requirement basis. But I read somewhere on WSO that most companies just say that but in the end aren't bothered to go through the hassle of getting visas for international students unless it's to do with programming.
But why do you want to work in the US? Why not London?
The United States welcomes overseas residents who come to the U.S. to take a look at. Before making use of for a visa, all scholar visa candidates are required to be conventional and accepted via way of means of their faculty or application. How to apply US visa for students:
Visa descriptions and qualifications
F-1 visa
This is the maximum not unusualplace sort of scholar visa. If you want to interact in educational research withinside the United States at an accepted faculty, together with an authorized U.S. university or university, personal secondary faculty, or accepted English language application then you definitely want an F-1 visa. You may even want an F-1 visa in case your path of take a look at is extra than 18 hours a week.
M-1 visa
If you intend interact in non-educational or vocational take a look at or schooling at a U.S. group then you definitely want an M-1 visa.
dude this has nothing to do with full time. F-1 is for education and you need F-1 for a year to do OPT and or need STEM for an OPT extension, and get into H1B lottery. Practically it is almost impossible to break into US banks unless you have graduated from a US school, and even so, H1B rate is pretty dismal.
