Welcome to the US!
You may want to move a little more quickly on the work visa situation since the requirements and/or availability may be subject to unexpected change and further difficulties under Trump's immigration schemes; sooner may be better than later...
Have you looked at the San Francisco Bay Area for open positions or the Seattle area, since both are hotbeds of tech activity? The downside is the cost of living is a bit steep in those areas, so be prepared for 'sticker shock'...
Good luck to you and your wife and I hope you have a smooth transition...
