This is a little misleading, you cannot apply for residency unless you're married to a USC, or an individual of extraordinary ability. A job can apply for residency for you, but there are a specific set of requirements. There's a lot of mis-information regarding immigration, and your best source is http://uscis.gov http://uscis.gov http://visajourney.com http://visajourney.com is also a pretty good community.
