Organic is more online advertising and movie site type of things.. but a good company to work for for a while.
AKQA has Bigger Sites and Online advertising, some print.. and are really growing now. We have positions in most everything open.

basically you need to find a company to offer you a position and sponsor your H-1 visa.

yeah blackspade, no doubt, I always wonder what NZ'ers have to do to get a work visa in the states. It ain't like Canada, which is pretty darn easy.

'basically you need to find a company to offer you a position and sponsor your H-1 visa.'
-------I thought that would be the case, ...like any company is gonna be interested in that unless my work was out-of-this-world

Canada is fairly lenient with NZ when it comes to work visas. They allocate a fairly good amount to Kiwi workers every year.
In saying, that I still worked there with no visa, so I'm not the best example!

I was in PDX when the dot com slump hit. Good thing i was still in college or I would have been hurting. I had an internship lined up at W&K and another place. Both fell through.
Luckily I was able to work long distance.
I think I might want to move to Colorado also, and maybe back home to Bozeman Montana. great areas
