It is a very hard country to get a visa/ green card for if you're British. There are a load of different visas available, but the most common ways of access are:
1. Work visa- have a US company sponsor your move to the US, they have to guarantee you the job- this process has a limited number of visas (and the jobs that are in higher demand are more likely to be fulfilled). If you get a job with a company in the UK (with a US office) you could always try ask for for transfer to US (I think you have to work 8 months in UK first).
2. Green Card- enter the lottery, so very very very over-subscribed... chances of getting green card are very very very low!
3. Invest a large chunk of money into the US (either $250,000 or $500,000- i can't remember because i'll never have that much money)

You need a job (with confirmation from the employers) so you can get the right kind of working visa and not just a 90 day tourist one. Other than that it's just your will.

Log onto the consular website of your country and check it out. I'm from another country and it took me 6-8 months to get mine done. Involves alot of paper work and security is so tight. Wish you luck with yours!

Do you mean "What are the criteria?" or "What is the criterion?" ?
