The company may be able to sponsor you for an H-1B visa depending upon whether the position is a speciality occupation. You would likely not be able to change your status in the U.S. unless you or the employer is cap exempt. If neither you or the employer is cap exempt, you wil have to go through the lottery process. Your potential employer can file the petition on April 1st for work beginning October 1st. You can read more at http://myattorneyusa.com/introduction-to-h1b-visas.
