For temporary employment, you don't need a green card. That you can only obtain if you have an immediate blood relative who is a US citizen and is willing & able to sponsor your immigration. Then you wait in line for admission. For a temporary employment visa, you need to find a job with an employer which is willing and able to obtain an employment visa for you. You neglect to mention your qualifications, but the most popular is the H1-b visa. You need a minimum of a baccalaureate degree and at least 2 yrs experience in a position which requires a minimum of a baccalaureate degree. H1-b visas for 2009 have already been issued. The applications for 2010 I hear are already oversubscribed. They'll be processed starting in April. You probably can't get one till 2011. The company has to get labor certification from the Dept of Labor (prove there are no US citizens qualified for the job) before they submit an application for you. These are increasingly difficult to get with so many Americans losing their jobs these days. For that matter, jobs are increasingly hard to find these days. Don't get your hopes up for the time being. Note: the Dept of Labor reported that 533,000 jobs were lost in the month of November. That's their "adjusted" figures. If you go to the actual data, you will find that the number of employed persons declined by 1.2 million during November. If you continue using the same methodology used prior to the Clinton Administration (they changed the methodology in 1993), you will find that actual unemployment in the US now exceeds 16%, not 6.7%.
