Don't count on being sponsored for a visa AFTER you get here, try to arrange it BEFORE. Also, at my workplace we only sponsor people for visas if they have advanced training (PhD or MD). If you don't have unusual and impressive job skills it will probably be difficult.

I didn't mean to be discouraging. The surefire way to get a visa is to marry a citizen. It doesn't have to be the person you want to be with, but that helps. I have a friend who married his cousin only for the visa.

You need to marry your cousin or be engaged to your sister/brother to get a visa.
No, seriously, you can enter the US on a K-1 Fiance(e) visa and then get married. Search the K-1 visa on google, and you will come up with a number of very helpful sites that will walk you through the process.
