Do US Operators Ever Issue Visas For Pilot Work?

Hey folks,

Are any of you aware of any US or Canada-based operators that have ever provided a working visa for oversees pilots?

I live and work in the UK as a 737 Captain but would hang up my flying gloves here to move across to the US irrespective of pay cut if it were possible (obviously not in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis - I understand). I've looked at various ways of acquiring residency but they are all fairly unrealistic at the moment (investing $900k for a business visa or marrying an American). Has anyone ever managed to make the jump across via a flying job without having relatives there or an American spouse?

Cheers!
