Check with the American Embassy in your country. Without a green card, it will not be legal for you to work here. Most employers won't hire illegal immigrants. Nobody will rent you an apartment if you don't have a job. Unless you have some plan about where you are going to live and how you are going to support yourselves, you need a green card.

A "green card", which is a permanent residency visa, is the only way that you can legally enter the US. There are temporary visa's available, but for these you will have to prove that your intentions are to be here for a set amount of time.
You can get a "green card" by having a sponsor, by being a qualified skilled or professional worker, etc.
Here is the US Visa and IMmigration websites:

You can also contact the US Embassy in your country, it should be listed on the immigration website.

The green card is the way. Get a Visa, start the process.
