USA

this theme comes up on a regular basis. Have you researched previous posts? if you have you will see that to work in the USA you will need a permanent residence card also known as a green card. There are other types of work visas for specialized professions but pilot is not one of them.
So firstly do you have a green card? If not obtaining one is virtually impossible without either winning in the green card lottery or being married to a US citizen. I have one by virtue of marriage and even then it took almost 3 years!
Secondly with just 200 hours of flight time your chances of any meaningful employment are virtually nil. There are plenty of US pilots with considerable more time looking for flying jobs.
Sorry to burst your bubble but that is the reality of the situation.
