    Not easy. I got a B1 Visa to come out (also chasing a girl) but it is only good for 6 months. Also, I am not working for a US company, but working remotely for a UK agency and still pay UK taxes.

    If I want to stay I will need to find a company out here willing to sponsor me for an H1-B visa. But having recently been speaking to a manager at a big agency here in NYC i've been told there is a big talent shortage at the moment and a lot of companies willing to take on foreigners.

    If you are good at what you do, and there is a similar market in Philly then it's far from impossible. You will be in a far better position if you come out (perhaps just for a holiday) and speak to the agencies you are interested in, in person.
