Law


I have received an offer letter from an US law school to do JD. I wanted to know what are my chances of securing a job after I graduate with a J.D degree. Since I will be an International student.

Your chances will be the same as the JD chances of your school. If a top 14, your chances will be high regardless of being a foreigner (if your visa is not an issue)

Thank you for the reply. I will be getting a F-1 visa like other international students and in order to secure a job my employer will need to sponser me for a H-1B visa.

It would even be better if your employer could assist you in getting your green card. In your case, having a JD is a key for practicing permanently in the US. But still, you have two criteria to fulfill: your English proficiency should be as close as it can get to your fellow Americans and get a permanent resident card.

Can my employer do that. I mean assist me in getting a green card. Because I heard that you need to wait five years till you can get a green card. My english is good in terms of marks I got 7.5 overall in IELTS and I have lived in UK for sometime. I am confident that my english is close to my american counterparts. It would be nice if you could please tell how employer helps in getting a green card.
