    The only options are, win the green card lottery, work for a company with offices in America and transfer, or be a highly qualified, highly paid individual who is so skilled in your field that the company can prove that there are no Americans who can do the job.

    Sad, but true. Don't listen to any gob****e that says otherwise than that above.

    There are work websites that are almost scams and if even they're not....mostly they're just very expensive 1-2 year work visas.

    One other sliver of hope is the H1B1 visa but that might be more towards I.T professions.
