Just marry an American. It's really that simple. :)
In all seriousness, if you _do_ marry an American, it is very likely that the US government/immigration service (now dba Dept. of Homeland Security) will forgive any extended but unauthorized stay in the US, AND give you a EAC (employment authorization card), followed immediately by a (SSN and) Green Card.
If you don't want to marry an American, you need to typically have some serious a) connections, b) money, c) credentials, and/or d) accomplishments under your belt.
In lieu of those, you need an attractive American employer who has one or more of the above-noted qualities. ;)
Please correct me if I am mistaken in any of these assertions...
Most of the time, in the US, a divorce results in a 50/50 split of all assets. I thought that was an amusing thing to point out, others seem to disagree :-)
