Excellent question. The answer is yes but substantial ownership is problematic in the PERM green card context, where it is not an issue - and in fact is often helpful - in the national interest waiver (NIW) and extraordinary ability (EB1A) green card contexts. Substantial ownership in the PERM context almost always will trigger an audit and substantial delays.
