I agree with SMS with one slight variation - you could possibly do this via a contracting company (not yourself).
I have heard of this "solution" but have never once ever found someone who would actually be the contracting company and hire this fellow to get an EP.
I looked into this angle from the opposite direction... I was considering if my company would consider being the legal entity for a fellow that wanted to come over and work.
I would have all the legal liability for the business conducted, as it would be my business being conducted with the other firm, even though it's my (fake) employee doing the work. I have to invoice, collect, report, and pay the salary of the contractor. I am responsible for this contractor turning into an arsehole and violating the laws. I wouldn't consider it, except for someone that I know well, and even then, at a substantial markup over the contractor's day rate.
