Immigration Gone Astray

Because of privacy issues I really will not say the actual companies who initially offered me jobs but because of my need for sponsorship simply took them away. I started my job search back in September of my senior year, spending about two months applying and on first round interviews. I ended up with 12 first round interviews and three of these ended up with job offers. Once i received my offers i went to the lawyer to find out what steps needed to be taken to go through with these offers. The first being from a small internet based stock trading position. It seemed like a good job. A long paid training period, being a day trader, good commission based on profit made, young working environment and good location in Manhattan. A job I would love to take. The second from a Fortune 100 large company, position was located in jersey with a great starting pay and starting bonus. Even though the work seemed to be boring and there would be a commute the position seemed like a great place to start in a large company. The final offer coming from a small financial firm who paid commission on clients brought in and full training in financial advising, good starting role with endless possibilities. After contacting all three companies not one of them would offer me sponsorship, not one! I began to think why not but then i realized I am just one of hundreds who wanted that position so why not just pick the next person in line, why waste the effort lawyers and money on me. How sad it is but true. A college educated person who has employees willing to offer him a position who has lived here almost all of his life but is unable to because of a simple visa. Is this the free America we all think of?
