TS,
Not sure if you have more details available from the company wanting to hire you as so far from what you have provided seems 'light' for a serious offer.

What i'm typing below is based upon my assumption that you're currently based in Malaysia and planning to work for an unrelated company, ie. not a transfer.

1) US companies typically do not apply on their own but rather outsource it to a Law firm and an attorney/paralegal will be assigned to your case.

2) They'll work with you to gather all the required documents.

3) Using my assumptions above, the likely path you'll be taking is the H1-B visa. This visa has a yearly cap and is usually over subscribed leading to a lottery situation, usually the chances are 1 in 3.

4) Timeline is usually around April submission for the new fiscal year. Best to google this for the upcoming FY2023.

5) If you get selected in the lottery, the lawyers will send you the paperwork and you'll then go to the US embassy in Malaysia for the actual visa itself.

6) Once visa is obtained, fly to the US to begin your new job
