I am sure there are a few UK YC startups. Below is what I can recall off the top of my head.
The blogs in particular may hold useful info for you regarding getting visas and working in the U.S. plus the journey in startup as a whole - I particularly like http://www.kulveer.co.uk and http://blog.harjtaggar.com who are the http://www.auctomatic.com guys as they give a good level of detail throughout their journey.
nice work Babul. Peter (Nixey) and Harj are the masters of US Visa stuff. Let us (Songkick) know if you've got any questions about applying to YC from the UK. Happy to chat on Skype. You can also grab me at one of our Hacker Meetups if in London at any point.
Thanks Ian. (bit busy next week so may not see you).
In case anyone wants to attend and does not know where/when it is, hope this helps...

However, http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/02/coming-to-america-getti... (or http://is.gd/1Vrf in short) by Peter from ClickPass could be what you were referring to and probably holds most of the answers you want in the most succinct form.
Anyway, I'm sure if you contact them they may be answer specific visa questions from their experience. Hope this helps.
