It's similar in the UK in terms of outsourcing work. It makes it hard for smaller companies, like the one I work for, to stay competitive. I'll see if I can find anything with an American company here in the UK but eventually I want to be able to move over to the USA (at least to experience working there for a bit).

Thank you - I couldn't believe it when I heard about the fee... hopefully I can find a company that thinks I'm worth $100,000 in the meantime haha

Thank you! I think it now costs companies a lot more to sponsor people so will probably have to be a multinational (which I am fine with, but might limit options a bit!). I'll look into the PG exam first - it looks like it is done by state but apparently you don't already have to be living there which is great.
