In Reply To: HI. I am from the UK and am looking to obtain a job in the USA. I need to find an organisation that will sponsor me for a H1B visa. I have contacted various recruitment agencies requesting advise & whether the companies they represent would undertake this visa process. I have met with a dead end. Can anyone advise how I can find out which companies sponsor international candidates. Or can anyone provide any contacts? I am a qualified accountant (ACMA), hold a BA (Hons) in Accounting and am on the home stretch of my masters. Thanks Sarah
Message: One way to try to do this is to find a position in the UK office of a global accounting firm, get a year or two under your belt, and see if you can transfer or get assigned to the US. I don't know anything about accounting, but I'm wondering if the accounting principles are the same in the UK and US? It might be a challenge to find a US firm that would hire someone not versed in GAAP or who is not a CPA.
