The visa application process is not at all difficult if you meet the requirements and have the paperwork. All that is necessary from the employer is a single signed sponsorship form. Aside from that, you need your original diploma, passport, and extra passport photos. If your employer is too busy to do the work, you can take it to immigration yourself.

Is it hard to get a job with a game company? I don't think so. A acquaintance of mine recently began working for Capcom. I'm sure his degree in "Animal Husbandry" couldn't have helped much in the selection process, other than the fact that it was a degree. But he's enjoying is job so far. His pay isn't "crap", and neither are his hours.

What does he do there?
