Hi everyone, 

I just got an internship approval for a government office - the Transportation Department of the state I'm living in. Looks like they also want me to continue working after I graduate (which is in a year from now). My question is: how easy (or difficult) is it to file for H1 visa from a government office? What are the possible benefits or downsides to the job? If anyone is familiar with this then some suggestions would be highly appreciated.
