Going to America

Hello. I'm planning to move to the US shortly. I technically have no degree (I'm Malian, currently live in Bamako, grew up and studied in Ethiopia, and dropped out when I was in my sophomore year). I took tons of online classes and even got a few certifications (not certificates of completion) to my name. I was thinking of starting a consulting firm here but the future is super blurry for my beloved country. Do I get any chance to land in the U.S? I got a friend who made it but he got lucky because he was sponsored by a guy he worked with back in the day.
