I think you have some of your facts mixed up.Assuming you are talking about legal businesses, you cannot start a business in the US as a foreign citizen and use that as the basis of your legal residency because work visa s are usually tied to a job and belong to the company with the job. They grant them to the foreign worker to come into the country to do the job. If the job goes away, so does the visa. On the other hand, if you are a legalized citizen of the US, you are a full legal citizen. You can do everything a regular citizen does -- including starting a business. You might think that that person is a foreigner but the law doesn t look at him (or her) that way.Another possibility is that somebody bought or started a business here with a large cash outlay (investment) or they established a business relationship with an American company. This should open up the option of visa s for business travel and the possibility of temporary residency, but it is not an open ticket to a permanent work visa or other legal options.
