The US does not give green cards or citizenship based on the situation you describe. You may be eligible for employment based immigration, but you would have to find an employer that can use your skills and be willing to go through the labor certification process with you. That is usually an expensive and drawn out application. You may wish to consult with an immigration lawyer to go over any options that may be available to you.
