The US Green Card Lottery Program, known as DV (Diversity Visa) Lottery program, is a good opportunity for potential immigrants to obtain the status as a permanent legal resident of the USA. You may apply by yourself at the U.S. Department of State website, if you wish. This program runs each year and provides 50,000 "Green Cards" to applicants randomly selected in a lottery process.
FINDING AN H-1B VISA JOB & SPONSORSHIP
If you are a foreign national who wishes to move to and work in the U.S., one way to achieve your goal is by finding a job which qualifies you for a H-1B Visa (for Professional Workers).
H-1B status requires a sponsoring U.S. employer who will petition the Department of Labor on your behalf. World Immigration Center can help you through the process of finding an employer/sponsor. Or, if you are already in the U.S., we can help you change your current visa to an H-1B Visa.

Specialty Occupation
H-1B Visas are granted to workers within a "specialty occupation," which requires specialized knowledge along with at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. Specialty occupations can be found within the fields of business, engineering, medicine, law and the arts.
Finding a Sponsoring Employer
Finding an H1B job and sponsorship is not easy. It can be a long, difficult process, requiring more than just "traditional" job search methods. Foreign nationals often have mistaken beliefs about H-1B sponsorship. One common misconception is that a friend living in the U.S. can sponsor you for a H-1B Visa. This is not so. Individuals cannot sponsor or apply for H-1B Visas - only employers can.
Why You Need to Prepare
There is a limit on the number of H-1B visas issued each year (The current limit is 65,000.) But with early preparation, you can beat the rush of applicants and give yourself the best chance of fulfilling your goal - of living and working in the U.S.
