I'm an international student at University of Waterloo (Canada). I don't think being international makes you or labels you any different than what you can be otherwise. In fact, most of my employers (direct team members) hardly ever know this fact, which makes sense as your nationality has nothing to do with how you will do the job.
Not sure how H1 works but in my case I've been given offers to work as an intern in the US on the basis of a J1 visa.
I'd say keep trying and working on side projects in the mean time. Good Luck!
