Considering this economy I would say a snowball has a better chance in hell than you do.
An immigration lawyer is just going to suck you dry for no result.
PLAN B... Tell BCIS you are really Mexican and have been beaten down by your own stupidity. They will green-light your ass lickity split. lol.
But really, it is in the employers court. If they are saying just "come on down," and they are not willing to do the H1-B process for you/with you, I would take the offer as disingenuous.

Well as it stands now, I'm not sure buddy who owns the network is entirely sure what the process entails even. I'm not worried about the offer not being genuine, I'm sure it is. We've been working together on projects online for some time, since before he launched his network early this year. We're already partnered on plenty of things, and I manage some media buys on commission already. I'm planning on heading down for a week in the new year to meet up and check out his setup regardless when my passport application comes through. From there if I decide to go ahead with things, I guess the ball is in his court. I wouldn't blame him if he changed his mind though, it does sound like a major pain in the fucking ass, and if I did put him through that I'd want to be very sure that I intended on sticking the job out for a while...
