pat12W, if you take a look at the website of the American embassy in your country, you should read the information about the tourist visa. Maybe you can apply for that one.
Important is that you can proove that you do not have the intention to stay in America (legal or not), but that you have things like a own house, a job, children, a course ,.... why you only would like to spend some time every year in the States, but always go home.
