I don't think it's too hard to survive in the states 
As mentioned by the others, H1 is an option, but there is a annual quota for H1 visas and you are competing with a tonnes of people with experience and potentially higher qualifications.
Another option will be L1, which is intra-company transfer visa, but you will have to working in satellite office of the US co. for at least 2 years to be eligible. Also, the US co. is in need of your specialized knowledge that is not available in US.
It might seems to be bleak, but there is really no harm is aiming for what you want (if it's really what you want)
how would you know that TS doesn't have experience with american culture?
Quota for 2013 H1 visa has already been exhausted. Will need to go for 2014 quota assuming theres a company willing to sponsor the TS.As mentioned by the others, H1 is an option, but there is a annual quota for H1 visas and you are competing with a tonnes of people with experience and potentially higher qualifications.

TS, I suggest that you apply to study Masters in Software Engineering, Computer Science, etc. (whichever you interested in).
Most Univ provides GTA (graduate teaching assistant) or GRA (graduate research assistant) programme. In this programme, you will get partially sponsored study programme and work part time in the same time.
Get your Masters within 1-2 years, after that, search for a job, and then, you can get your work visas or PR later on. It's easier that way.
This seems to be the best option IMO for the TS. Go to US and complete the masters, once complete the graduate is allowed to work for slightly over a year. During that time, get an employer to sponsor for a H1B. There's a quota for advanced degree holders under the H1 quota, should be slightly easier to get it.Most Univ provides GTA (graduate teaching assistant) or GRA (graduate research assistant) programme.
