Difficulties in getting Debt Financing with a US visa

To echo the above, it is incredibly difficult to get lending but the crux of the issue is post-close immigration challenges. I don't know what visa you're on, but in most cases it's likely to be a non-immigrant visa which means banks don't have recourse and a way to hold you accountable.

Even if you close on a business, you'll still need to go through an adjustment of status or get a H-1B. The former being long and arduous with more challenges ahead and the latter being a lottery with conditions becoming harder with the incoming administration.

Consult an immigration attorney and partnering with a U.S. citizen is your best bet.

I agree entirely with ^Searchfunder member‌. To proceed, you'll need to partner with a U.S. citizen or green card holder who will serve as the majority owner. Their guarantee needs to hold merit and satisfy the requirements.
