1 - To get an investor's visa, $50,000 is not enough. To get Permanent Resident Investors EB-5 visa, you need to invest at least one million dollars, or $500,000 if your investment is to be in a targeted employment area. http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/...

2 - If you are on B1/B2 tourist visa, you cannot get SSN and driver's license. Many states are now requiring proof of legal stay in the US to get drivers license, and B1/B2 is not considered as adequate.

3 - B1/B2 are just tourist visas -- you are only allowed to come to the US for at most a period of 6 months at a time, and you leave the US and can come back again. It does not allow you to work and find employment -- just to either visit US for pleasure or to attend conferences or other short business related trips

4 - If you get your immigrants visa or permanent residence, you can certainly bring your family with you. If you are on B1/B2 and they have been approved for B1/B2 as well, then you can bring your family with you to the US

5 - Yes, there are foreigners who own land or houses in the US especially those who can actually pay for it without asking for a mortgage here in the US

6 - I suggest you visit the US embassy in your country and let them explain about the requirements for investors visa

7 - The consul will just look at the investment you will bring -- meaning your money for investors visa. If you can come up with at least $500,000 then there will be no problems.

Otherwise try to find an employer who can help you get a work visa. Then you can start your business in the US

Talk to the US Embassy or a lawyer who is actually familiar with investor immigration to the US

Or try immigrating to Canada. They have much easier requirements for entrepreneurs and investors. Canada's investor immigration is as tough as the US BUT their self employed and entrepreneur requirements are much more lenient http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/b...
