find yourself a reputable attorney who can help you navigate the system.
I found these guys to be helpful.

it s a very hard process to get a green card based in work, so you will need help from attorneys, if needed some names ask i will tell you.\if you marry your American partner it will be a much quick and easier process. but i am no lawyer go with a pro.

The easier way is to find a job in the US first or to have your company relocate you.

This is difficult but everything else wont be easy either. I don't want to recommend to get married for the Visa but it would simplify things!

I live in Ecuador and it is a wonderful country. Its people are so kind and nice, and they will give you the most charminmg welcome. I have put together a helpful fact sheet, an aricle aboput what kind of visa is the best in your case, and also an article on Ecuadorian manners and customs

I have been trying to configure this too, but I don't get this - in order to get a job offer from a US organisation, one needs an employment-based visa to the US and in order to get the employment-based visa, one needs a job offer.

This looks complicated to me.

Can someone please explain it?

Attorneys are very expensive.
