Generally, if a company wants you badly enough, they'll sort out the VISA and such. Having a degree will help getting one a lot. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

If you're applying as a technical artist, you might do well to show stuff on your folio that's of a technical nature. There's nothing there at the moment that suggests you know scripting or tool making (your CV doesn't say anything about it, either).

And yeah, applying to any studio would use the same method. Just apply if you want to work there, specified vacancies or not.

I might also say that if you're struggling to find a job in the UK, it may well be even harder for you to find one in the US. As not only does the company have to employ you, but it has to sort out VISAs and getting you over there, etc... whereas in the UK that's not much more fuss than a few hours car journey.
