Without a green card, you need a permanent employer willing to sponsor an H-1B application (moderately expensive for your employer). It's very hard to contract as a non-resident in the USA; you will want to talk to an immigration lawyer before you make *any* commitments at all with regards to changing your employment. Whatever you do choose, I wish you luck.
