You either try for an employment based Green Card, or a work based visa with a company.
With the company based visa, you are tied to that company, so they can royally screw you over - and you either have to leave the country, or smile and say thank you.
Green card's allow you to work for anyone, but have a waiting list of years, even for graduates - unless you have a Master's degree or higher - the waiting list is much shorter. But even then, expect a minimum of 6 months for the visa to be processed - and you still need to have a company willing to take you on to begin with.

The Americans are very protective about any non-American coming over to work there. It may not be easy to secure work over there unless you have a niche skill which is required. Good luck.

Does anybody have any experience of moving to and working in the States and can you please provide an immigration lawyer or agency I can contact to discuss it further?
Thanks,

I've tried googling, but I just get advice about visas etc., and I understand how that works already! Any advice at all will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Have you tried searching for and signing up to a British expats in the USA forum and looking for the answer or posting on there?
I know it's not the obvious thing to do but just like yourself I'm completely flumoxed so thought I'd suggest this 'out-there' idea.

Yeah of course it's fked, but there are always ways, companies are still hiring and many still have need for special skill sets etc. So I wouldn't really be surprised if I got one.
