Permanent worker?

You mean to get a work visa?

You have to find an employer who would want to sponsor you.

That's the only think you can do.

It will be hard, since the whole process cost much money and the number of visas that might be obtained are limited.

I'm sorry but you cannot change your status to a permanent worker if you came to the US via B2 visa.

If you intend to work legally in the US, you should have an employment-based visa which the employer would apply for you.

Refer to this: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=cdfd2f8b69583210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=cdfd2f8b69583210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD

No there is no easy way. For work visas, you need to find an employer to sponsor you. You need to have special, rare skills/ education to get the visa. Once you have the correct work visa, your spouse and minor kids can follow (depending on the visa, they may be able to work).

Unless you have a company which is willing to sponsor you, changing your status from tourism to temporary employment is not a simple task.

To answer your questions:

1/ What should i do to to change my status to a permanent worker? - You need to find a company, willing to hire you and to take up the responsibility to file the necessary paperwork required.

2/ what is the best way to be accepted? - There is no best or worst way. It will depend on your qualification and the willingness of an employer to apply for your temporary work permit.

3/ what are delays of the process? - The process is straight forward if your employer gets the paperwork filed correctly and if your qualifications apply.

4/ it is really difficult to change my status? - Yes it is, mostly because you entered the US as a tourist where it appears your intentions were otherwise.

5/ if I can how much it will be cost? - It depends on the case, but your employer is responsible for the legal costs associated with the application.

6/ it is really that delays and acceptance are different between a state to another - The laws governing temporary work visas are Federal and are the same in all states.

Good luck!

You are probably looking at a H1b Visa. The next application date is 1st April for a 1st October start.
