There is a lot you haven't mentioned: for example, your B1 visa allowed you to travel to the US on business only; will you still be working for the same employer but in the US branch office? Did you quit your employer and are looking for another job? I ask because there are a number of different kinds of "work" visas - but most are oversubscribed and very hard to get. It takes a couple of years to get an employment-based immigrant visa. And you cannot get a working visa and then look for a job: you must have the job offer first.
Also, depending on your nationality, there are a few special programs you might use.

I don't have experience with this particular issue but you may be able to find some information on the USCIS website, which also includes all relevant forms and current application fees for each one. http://www.uscis.gov
