A Good point, I should have also mentioned I'm open to Canada too. (visited only once, but it was very pretty )

I've been reading the Visa info on the US Gov website and the London Embassy office. From what I can gather there are two types of visa that would be my best bet. One is a temporary worker visa and the other...

I think this is the one, E3 its called on the US website.
Embassy of the U.S. London: Skilled Workers, Professionals & Other Workers

As I mention, I have a degree, studied for 3 years, not a great deal of industry experience <1 year. Perhaps I'll email them tonight (the embassy) and probe them for info...

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to proceed? Just start answering ad's on company websites? send out resumes in emails?
As I understand it, you need to get an offer of a job before you get the visa...

Cheers.

Edit..

Talon: Thanks dude I've not had any time to update my CV with the new skills I have (crunch time continues! waaa!). I'm not sure about applying as a technical artist, probably more General 3D and Environment with the Technical as like, an added extra to my skillbase

Edit 2..

I know its more complex because I'd have the visa stuff but I'm just thinking, if I cast my net quite wide, maybe I'll catch more fish :P And I'll still be applying to UK companies, but someday I'll run out of places to send applications May as well try the US and Canada, nothing ventured nothing gained

TY!
