As someone who has been rejected after a Google onsite, an Amazon hiring event, and (as of a few hours ago) an Amazon onsite the thing that gets me down is these companies are among the few who actually want to interview me.
I'm in Dallas. I get hit up by someone affiliated with Amazon once every couple months, Google and Microsoft about once a year, and Facebook occasionally. Getting a company not listed in the previous sentence and not located in DFW to acknowledge my existence, let alone interview me, is like pulling teeth. Based on OP's visa situation he may be in a similar boat.

They want to hire you but lack the will to hire people that cost a lot and may be a political liability. The company as a whole is like a drug addict. They want to stop but can't and will never admit they have a problem. Big companies are addicted to larger numbers of cheaper employees because headcount determines each managers rank and salary not results.
