I will assume you have at least a commercial w/instrument cert.  And the "minimum" time for HAA companies to look at you.  

Is your goal to fly a twin in a VFR environment?  If so, there are plenty of VFR only programs that use twins, specifially EC 135's.  You just have to commit to moving to those programs, or at least the general area.  Check AMC, they have them.

If you want to go to an IFR base that uses a twin but only fly VFR, that generally will not happen.  You might get hired to the program and be restricted to VFR only for a time period (6 months) until you get use to the base, area, and IFR environment.  But your employeer will expect you to eventually fly IMC in that program.

There will never be a dual pilot IFR HAA program in the U.S. unless a company chooses to use an aircraft that requires a type rating/two pilots.  And that's not going to happen as long as Airbus (Eurocopter) keeps making EC 135/145 airframes.  Just my two cents.
