Been there, done that.
First: you are confused about the $1M investment. That's for getting a green card. No one ever got it by the way, that's one of immigration's little secrets.
Just as good is the E-1 visa, which requires no minimum investment. So if you can build a strong business case that you are starting a business in the US, with legitimate customers, it's definitely to explore. Your country of origin needs to have a treaty in place with the US.
It costs a good lawyer about $6,000 to do a "treaty investor" visa.

- anonymous4this 18y agoThank you for the reply. I'm investigating the E-1 as an option. My preference is to be resident though. I would like to settle down and consider purchasing a home during the real estate downturn. But I would rather prefer my residence to be taken care of before then. If I consider not being resident, I could live temporarily elsewhere and fly in on B visa as required. As I say though, I would like to settle down a bit.
