Why should employer take a risk on you -- with the added costs of getting the paperwork in order, getting the legal issues worked out, flying you halfway around the world, etc.--- when they can just as easily take a risk for less money on a local individual who is likely just as talented?[/quote]

Yes, I know that employer would risk or for that matterspend his money on someone from another country to get him an interview, my question was what sould I do to get a job in the United States. Should I come there permanently, or get a work visa. And I'm from Serbia, for those who didn't check the map it used to be Yugoslavia.

There are quite a few serbian game developers so you could always try there first. (Nordeus and Eipix for example)[/quote]

I'm pretty sure those studios are closed, because I didn't see or hear anything abouthem them in the past six years. There have been several other studios, but they all were shutdown after one or two games.

Ukraine and Romania seems like a good idea I might try it, but I'm afraid to get stuck down there working on some bad game, that will never breakthrough. I noticed nobody didn't posted something about a job market, what's the status over there, because here it is hard to find a regular job, let alone in computer industry.

Thanks for the advices
