I’m international student and I want to work in USA after I graduate from college. So which well known companies give the most visas to international students? Where can I find the list of these companies?

Thanks

This is purely industry/sector based , there are a lot of companies which hire international students in the technology sector , but for all other sectors the options arent that many. Just as a rule of thumb any company that is involved into defense work will pretty much not hire international students, other than that there is no general rule.
Also, a LOT of companies make exceptions so dont assume just because a company does not hire international students that you dont have a shot. If you could tell me your major I could give you a list of companies that I am aware of for that field.

Well for Finance the good part is most major companies hire international students , I cant really come up with a comprehensive list, but most major conglomorates do hire Finance Majors, so do most banks (probably all of them that you have heard of ) , consulting as well. So to list a few (if that helps)
Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase,Morgan Stanley,Lehman Bros.,Barclays,UBS
Goldman Sachs,Bain,Mckinsey,BCG,Deloitte,ZS- Masters Level,Motorola,Microsoft

Also, a lot of companies have a Masters based policy , they only hire internationals at a Masters level. Hope that helped in some form!

My recommendation would always be to try your luck with Tech companies , they are more used to dealing with international students and usually do have finance related positions.

I also think that F1 and entry level jobs don't mix too well. American employers will most likely hire an experienced foreigner who has specific skills that will benefit specific needs than entry level f1 students.
