Firstly i would find one guide for me to translate their language.After some few days I learn from the guide and I will try to communicate with US people.If i don't feel comfortable to communicate I will communicate with my action and that will be my best thing to communicate with US people.

Well the first thing to do would to find people who speak the same language that I do and get some help in learning English. Also I can try using sign language to convey basic messages.

The first thing I would do is to find a community that speaks my language. Many people do this, of course, and find that it is easy (and there seem to be many compelling reasons) for not learning English. They find that they can survive by depending on those in the community who can act as interpreters.
If you choose to live in a country, however, it is your duty to try to learn the language. If you ever want to become a citizen, then you will HAVE to!

I don't think it's possible that you're an immigrant in the states and yet you don't know even a little English. Let's say I know very little English. I guess what I would instinctively do is look for communities of my nationality. When a person is alone in a foreign land, what he'll do is look for familiarity right? It would also be the wisest thing to do because they'll help since you came from the same country. Although I believe that most logical thing to do is to immerse yourself in American communities. You'll learn a lot faster if you expose yourself to people who are 'experts' in speaking the foreign language.
