USC citizen can't petition for you (sign affidavit of support) without having a domicile in the US. So, if that's an issue here, you may want to look into how USC can establish a domicile.

Here is something more about that:

That's where I see an obstacle. Otherwise, if you are eligible to immigrate, the rest of the process will be the same as for the others who are persuing immigrant visa (dealing with all the paperwork). Some find it difficult, some not. It depends also on the consulate you are going through... I haven't heard anything about the reputation of the consulate in Israel..
