its going to be very difficult for you. i came over to NY earlier in the year. I have an o-1 (i think..) visa which was paid for me by my comapny. it cost them a lot. but even with that my wife cant work. she has to wait until i apply for a greencard next year. so there is no way you will be legally allowed to work on your girlfriends visa.also there is no way you will be legally allowed to stay even here more than 3 months, let alone work, without some kind of visa. you wont even get an interview - let alone a job - until you have the right paper work (unless the people you do work for break the law).
if you get a job without a visa, it is possible they will sponsor your visa, but it will cost them a lot (in terms of time, laywers fees as well as cash), so unless they love you, or are a huge company (mine is) dont even think about it.
the good news after all that is i have friends who have come over on the same visa as me and it took them about 3/4 months to organise and cost them a few thousand.
and when you get here its fucking amazing.
