Direct investment is ideal for the candidate seeking an active role in the investment and for the investor who is certain that the investment can lead to the job creation requirement comfortably. In a direct investment an investor has greater opportunity to implement control in the day-day managerial duties and can exercise a greater degree of involvement. Although, involvement and management are required in direct investment, expertise can be sought and duties can be delegated to US based management companies while still exercising the necessary amount of control to satisfy the USCIS requirements.

Examples of industries that an investor can potentially invest into include but are not limited to medical establishments, vineyards, franchises, themed restaurants, educational centers, trucking companies, etc.
