Hello. You must first become a US Resident (green card). You can obtain this via a family sponsor, lottery or an employer. Then, you can maintain your residency for 5 (or 3) years and then file for citizenship (Form N-400). You may also move to the US with an investment.

You can either get a valid visa coming to the US, get a job, and obtain a green card through employment. Or you can marry a US citizen and get your green card through family relation.
