You need to be licensed for regular operator (car) in the U.S. for a year, before applying for a CDL.
You must also (obviously) have a visa that allows for work - typically a "green card".
So the visa with work authorization has to come first. Then coming over, get a regular drivers license, stay here for a year before applying for a CDL.
