Ask HN: US-internships as experience for professionals from overseas?

Hello HN, some children dream of being an astronaut or working as a firefighter. When I was in my early teens, I wanted to become a lawyer in the USA. I have to admit that my inspiration was heavily influenced by the film adaption of John Grisham's novels. However, things turned out slightly different. I was interested in technology very early and moved on that path. I never left my home town really, because I felt I've had insufficient funds, felt responsibility for my sick mother, and other personal stuff, so anything I did, dragged me back to my home town. Now I have a life I cannot complain about, really. I've a pretty good job, I'm satisfied with my salary, I have plans to continue my career path. However, the idea of being in the US is still in my head and pops up from time to time very overwhelmingly. I am now 31 years old, so I thought, just before starting with family planning with my girlfriend, I'd like to experience some "work and travel" in the US. However, I don't want to do farming etc. I was more thinking about "internships for professionals". Is there an opportunity to work for a US tech company (startup or big company does not matter), which pays my bills and gives me a few month of experience in the US? Why? Because I sometimes feel a big regret if I not try. My project should be open-ended. So, if I get a job offer afterwards, I might consider moving to the US; if not, I've made a few months of worthy experience. Is there such a tech-intern program for professionals? Or what could be a way I can go? I'm EU citizen, if that matters. Thanks, HN! S.
