Your question really depends upon the type of United States visa that you receive to come to this country. Not all American visas require that a foreign nation needs to be sponsored by a legal American resident or American citizen.
I suggest that you may want to consult with an immigration attorney well versed on American immigration laws to further assist you with respect to the matter you have written about as to visa application selection to this country.
