Relocating to the US as a Business Person

I understand there are special considerations in US laws for non-US persons (who have businesses that can benefit the US) to immigrate to the US, or have a million dollars to invest.

I live in the Caribbean, but I am considering setting up an LLC in the US for my Internet companies. Will this consideration improve my odds of personally locating to the US? I don't have a million dollars right now, but my proposed US company, once Incorporated, will be taxed like a US entity!

Any assistance in answering this question will be appreciated :).

The LLC doesn't matter. Either you've invested the million (or 500k) and created the jobs for Americans, or you haven't.

This is a very important distinction. The million dollar investment figure that is required to take part in the Eb5 Visa Program can be lowered to $500,000 if the investment is made in a targeted employment area (an area where the unemployment rate is at least 150% that of the national average). That $500,000 can also be invested into a Regional Center, where you will receive help with the managing of the investment, and meeting the requirements of the visa. So, you do have a few more options than you originally thought.
 
Why would you move successful company to usa ... Planing to scam some investors on large scale eh??
 
Visitor Visa is a non-immigrant visa issued to people entering U.S. temporarily for business (B-1), or for pleasure/ medical treatment (B-2). These are generally issued for a period of six months, but an additional maximum extension of 6 months can be granted based on the USCIS(INS) approval.
