H1b sponsorship from a consultancy without an IT background

[Claudine]

Hi,

I just graduated from a 4 year university and my opt started a week ago. I am now working for a social media company but it's unlikely that they will sponsor me for an H1B next April. I was thinking about joining a consultancy. However, I have a marketing degree and since most consultancy require an IT background I was wondering if they do agree to sponsor me, will I have an issue with my H1B to be approved?

Thanks

With a marketing degree, it will be next to impossible to get an H-1B for an IT/CS-related job unless you have a foreign degree from your home country in a related field or have enough prior experience to qualify for an experience/degree evaluation.
Go here to get more information about the H-1B (http://usimmigration.visapro.com/H1B-Visa.asp). You might want to get ahead of the game and speak to an immigration attorney about options you have regarding the H-1B cap.
