Biglaw H-1B policy, international students

Post by marydoo » Mon Apr 04, 2022 11:33 am

Hi,

I am a current international 3L student, and will be working at a big firm in NYC after graduation. There were few posts on this but I wanted to ask once again, if you personally experienced or know, what happened to international students at big firms when they were not selected for h-1b visa. I've heard a lot of this and that, some people saying you will definitely be let go and relocating to a foreign office is extremely rare. I've also had some people say firms will be willing to relocate you.

I know this is highly firm and time specific depending on the needs and circumstances of the market, but I just wanted to hear what the general experiences has actually been if you know any.
