Versus,
Unfortunately many students and grads that are on work visas (F-1, H1-B or the like) are hitting a brick wall. Many employers do not feel that they need to go through the trouble. I know, the cost is on your shoulders but many employers lost many of their experienced employees that were on visas after 9/11. It have become VERY difficult to get H1-B's renewed.
I advise students and grads to contact their embassy and/or consult to obtain a list of companies from your home country that do business in the US and US companies that do business in your home country. They are much more likely to hire you and be able to use any language skills you might have.
If you do take the position as a stockbroker give it all your effort and start networking to try to eventually get into the research side of things. But be sure that is possible. Many stockbrokers are purely sales people and there is no analysis or "advising" so do your research.
Happy Hunting!

Since you're on the topic of VISAs, I'm also a recent grad May '04 from a Midwest school and looking for sponsorship around here in San Francisco. I've found nothing permanent as of the moment, and my OPT is about to expire. I found this website, h1base.com, that acts like an agency for people who want sponsorships in the U.S. with a huge fee. HAve you heard of this? Is this legit? I've tried calling their number on the website but no one answers it. I dont want to spend tons of money for nothing. And I'm really desperate to get a sponsor.
