You have to be sponsored for a work visa by a US employer and once that petition is approved, you can either change your status or go back to Jordan and apply for an appropriate work visa at the US Embassy in Amman. You cannot just get permanent residence, that is a long process that is also based on either employment or through a qualifying family relative such as a parent, child, spouse or sibling. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.
