To get a visa to work, you need to have an employer who will sponsor you and get you a temporary work visa such as H1B (if not already filled up). To get a visa, 1. Try sending your resume to US companies and explain to them that you will be there on this month and available for interview. It will be a long shot as majority of employers want US based workers and US citizens to work for them. You have to stress what it is that you can do that the employer may not be able to find among US applicants 2. Go with your girlfriend to the US as a tourist and while here apply for jobs. Employers are more likely to entertain you because you are already in the country (as against if you are still in UK and they still have to consider how to bring you in the US just for the interview). As long as your girlfriend is willing to support you, this approach will not be a problem
