A path I have seen many people take, and one I'm going to take soon, is to work at a US tech company (not necessarily FAANG, lots of largish companies do this) and transfer internally from Europe to the US. There is no lottery for L1B visas, so it's usually hassle free compared to that H1B mess.
L1B visas can also convert to green cards at some point, but I have no idea how easy that is (probably not easy at all).

- School-Cotton 4y agoL1 is related to green card in the sense that with some statuses, you can never get a green card, but with L1 you can.
- sgjohnson 4y agoThat’s called dual intent.
