    Interesting to hear everyone's thoughts. Given that most of my work has been for local clients I think that doesn't do me any favours. In saying that, I've always worked for small studios and would hope to continue that in the US. Of course, that's a perfect world scenario, the idea is that I should plan for a less than ideal outcome and try and safeguard myself as much as possible. Getting a degree falls into part of that strategy.

    In terms of getting the appropriate visa – and excuse my ignorance – but is the fact that I'm married to a US citizen not enough to qualify me to work there?

    • you can get a visa/greencard through your spousehotroddy
    • I'm no expert, but if you want to go the work permit route small studios will also be a disadvantage as sponsoring an employee requires a lot of resourcesezkl
    • If you're married to a U.S citizen I don't think you need to be worried about having a B.A. I believe it only matters if you're applying for a work visa.martinadolfsson
