My language learning and using ability are all good and I think I can cope with language barriers easily when I move abroad to USA. In addition to other reasons I wanna just live as a premanent resident in USA after doing LL so I am seeking for advices especially from native Americans.
I know due to the COVID-19 anything about immigrations is way much harder than previous prior to the pandemic but due to my personal reasons I gotta migrate there and I also don't wanna elaborate them in public here in addition to the fact that they are not the main point of this question. So it's waste of time to inquire the reasons.
My college major is computer science and my English is good(evaluated by others but I don't know how my English seems to you native English speakers as an English learner instead of an ABC LOL).
Not COVID-19 infected although with severe height and appearance dysphorias(I know I am not migrating over S.Korea).
Can accept exotic marriages(aka marriages with Americans).
Can accept being a low-paid workforce there.
Can accept changing my nationality.(I don't expose my personal informations here just to achieve someo patriotic criticisms)
Can accept very different living environments and conditions(including socializations, occupations, clothes, foods, living, transportations and etc.)
Can accept high rates of shooting crimes.
Any advices?

California is a good place. Bay Area and Los Angeles are good places. I would recommend you San Francisco, good weather and diverse cultures. Also lots of Chinese/Taiwanese restaurants.

Thx for you advice. I also heard California is resort for many Americans to enjoy lives at their old ages LOL. But personally I am the biggest fan of Texas. I love Brisket and beers there.

Not as much as it used to be due to the high cost of living.

The reason of its increasing of living cost is COVID-19 right? COVID-19 is messing up every country's ppl's lifes LOL.

If I was you, I would apply to a big tech company. Not legal advice, but they could do the green card process for you for free. You will probably start with a working visa like H1B and then transition to the PR without having to marry. How long the green card process will take, depends on your nationality. In the meantime you could make a   ton of money while working for that kind of companies. This is exactly what I'm doing, but I want to get more money before getting the surgery done.

How difficult is it to get into a big tech company if you have a CS Degree and some years of experience?

The hardest part are the technical interviews, every company has its own approach, so you should prepare accordingly. I would recommend to buy a book called "Cracking the Coding Interview" from Gayle Laakmann McDowell because it has very useful advice and a lot of interviewers use problems from that book. Solve a mix of problems from the book and from "Leetcode" or any similar website. After a couple months you should be fine. Don't surrender if you fail the first interviews, just keep applying to different companies (I got an offer after interviewing 5 times).
