<p>Hi, I need an explanation. If i study finance or business what are the chances to get an h1b after graduation? And is hard to get a job as international in this field because of the overfilled industry? Or not? Thanks </p>
<p>I’m in a similar situation, but as long as you attend one of the top 20 elite colleges that firms such as Goldman Sachs recruit from (have on campus recruiting) I.e. Ivy League, and maintain a good GPA (3.5 or higher) then with a bit of networking you might be lucky enough to find a firm willing to sponsor you for a H1B visa. It is achievable, but extremely difficult, as there are only 30,000 H1B visas granted each year, most to STEM majors. Good luck!</p>
<p>So there are not too much chances. I ve read on different websites that professions like financial Analyst and economist can lead to an h1b. I can’t attend an ivy so im a bit worried. Even trhough the university i can t get a job? </p>
<p>I also know that maybe obama will add 35000 visa each year wigh a reform. I wanna attend us university in 2017. So there will be much chances or not? </p>
<p>In the current political climate, it’s extremely unlikely that there’ll be a comprehensive immigration reform. Expanding the H-1B program has been on the table since at least 2007 and there’s been zero progress to date.</p>
<p>Business is the single most popular college major. There’s almost 400,000 business majors graduating from college each year! Most of them will be hired into rather mundane positions: accounting, human resources, sales, bank officers, real estate, etc. The jobs you’re probably thinking of (management consulting, investment banking, etc) recruit almost exclusively from the tippy top colleges and universities. </p>
<p>There is plenty of good US citizen business graduates every half year. There is no need for a company like ML or GS to hire international students and shelter them for Green Cards. Having been working for KPMG for 10 years, I have never heard KPMG will consider to apply Green Cards for an employee, especially for a current first year associates. The turnover for the first year accountants is so high that makes hire foreign internationals impractical.</p>
<p>Having said that, I know some “sweat shops” will consider provide international students Green Card support. Here are the catches:</p>
<ol>
<li>Your salary during the application period could be much sub par, more less minimum wage, but the workload will be high and lots of overtime without pay.</li>
<li>You cannot leave the company during the application period or you will lose the support and be deported. It could take three to five years to get green cards.</li>
</ol>
<p>OP, you will be starting college the same year as me. Like the others above have stated, it is very difficult to get sponsorship for a h1b, and you pretty much have to be at a top finance school with a high GPA to get sponsored. It doesn’t have to be an Ivy, I.e. Duke, NYU Stern, U Mich Ross are all other similar selective colleges that could get you a h1b sponsorship. It is POSSIBLE AND BANKS SPONSOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, except you have to be at the top of the recruiting pool for them to be willing to put in the extra time and effort for your h1b application. In conclusion, you better be a promising candidate from a top 20 finance/business undergraduate college. </p>
<p>No matter how famous your university, it will be almost impossible for you to get an H1B with an undergraduate degree in anything other than computer science or engineering. Even for one of those fields would be very unlikely. Almost all H1B visas go to people with advanced degrees and multiple years of experience in their professional fields.</p>
<p>As a business/finance major, it would make much more sense for you to complete your undergraduate degree in your own country then follow one of these routes:
- Go to work for a firm that has offices in your country and the US, and take a transfer to the US office when you have that opportunity.
- Go to work for a firm in your country for at least three years, then apply to a top MBA program in the US. </p>
<p>Thanks. I Forgot to say that this situation isn’t mine. I’ve spoken by one of my classmates that would like to attend
Finance there, in US. Thank all of you for the response </p>
