RE: H1 visa details

Karthik,

As you are well aware, the job market in Chicago is not the best right now.  A 
lot of the companies that used to freely sponsor workers no longer do so.  I'm 
sure you've been checking the job boards - Monster, HotJobs, CSA, etc.  Most 
listed positions will tell you whether or not permanent resident status is 
required.

Frankly, you might be better off continuing your education and going for the 
advanced degree for now.

Good Luck!!
