Haylad,
It's quite possible! You can apply for the immigrant investor visa.

"To qualify as an immigrant investor, a foreign national must invest, without borrowing, the following minimum qualifying capital dollar amounts in a qualifying commercial enterprise:

$1,000,000 (U.S.); or
$500,000 (U.S.) in a high-unemployment or rural area, considered a targeted employment area.
A qualifying investment must, within two years, create full-time jobs for at least 10 U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or other immigrants authorized to work in the United States, not including the investor and the investor’s spouse, sons, or daughters."

You're right, rich guys migrate too! That's why US Government created this category of immigrant visa.

Guys,
This thread is very helpful. I advise everyone trying to apply to read from page 0 to current page before applying. While reading take note of refusals and why they were denied and apply to your case. Ask yourself same questions that were asked others in this forum and find potiential answers here too. Also read the successful ones and take note of questions asked and how the applicant replied. Read the pages like you're preparing for an important job interview or even and then PRAY. I ALWAYS visit the travel page on this site before applying for any country's visa and follow same guidelines listed and I have always been successful. That and prayers.
Secondly, be confident while standing in front of the visa officer at the embassy. They can smell fear even as soon as they see you. Make direct eye contact with them and chat (not talk ) with them like you're having a normal day to say conversation with a familiar friend.
Thirdly, Do NOT let any agent film your form for you becos they could fill in an information about you that isn't correct and when you are interviewed and asked a question based on what the agent filled in you start looking like a complete nutter. If you must fill the forms with an agent make sure that you do it TOGETHER and be the one to tell him what to fill INFRONT of you before submitting the form online.
Pls when asked you're salary don't go and put millions even if you earn it. I filled 200k as my monthly salary but i earn way more than that in a month. These people already think that an applicant is a potiential immigrant so it is up to you to prove that you are not migrating and will come back after your trip. Why you write that you earn million a they think that you're trying hard to get them to believe you. Just be yourself!
Fourthly, study the form that you filled online like the bible (or Koran) becos the interview questions will come from there. If you've been denied before and are re-applying you must remember what you filled in the previous applications becos you may still be asked questions based on previous applications especially if you were denied before. Had your circumstance changed?
Make sure that you stick strictly to what you wrote on the form while applying (whether truth or not pls stick to what you filled ). By the way, also stick to what you wrote on your form while arriving at your POE too. For those that want to travel from another city then transit to the final destination while there, make sure you hold an onward ticket on the bus or local airline over there.
Guys, anyone can get the visa whether single or married. Just defend what you have on your form and pray and be confident. I'm single and God gave me mine on first trial. I travelled and came back home to my business.
For those going for visits to friends and relations make sure that the person inviting you isn't there illegally and do not owe taxes. Those going for forums and conference make sure you get as much info about it and it better to related to your field of work.
Speaking of your field of work make sure that you know your job responsibilites very well and if asked mention it the way you filled it online. Those people are programmed like robots o so make sure you stick to your Info online. One of my aunties and her family got this visa on virgin passports. She's never even been to cotonou. Prepare ( read the thread here from page 0) and pray then fill your form correctly. Goodluck guys and may God grant everyone here their heart desires.

congrats bro,will also share mine too soonest insha Allah,interview schedule for October.

bigbus:


Can you be interviewed this year? I think yes. After filling the form, you will see available interview dates. Actually, by the time you finish filling, you might find out that the nearest available interview dates are in November or December. It depends on the number of applicants, and they advise people to apply early. (If you think the available dates are too early for you, you can then wait and schedule later.)

3 years old is not too small: grandma/aunt can take care of her. But hope you are not planning an extended vacation! And hope you have good reasons for wanting to go and enjoy a vacation alone without taking your only daughter along. That said, you need to worry more about your ties to Nigeria (or your country of residence) and your ability to demonstrate them. For what constitutes ties, read through the thread and assess based on your personal circumstances.

.I really appreciate your response,but I think for not taking her along with me will be among the ties I have in this country and I have good job here with good salary.

Haylad,
It's quite possible! You can apply for the immigrant investor visa.

"To qualify as an immigrant investor, a foreign national must invest, without borrowing, the following minimum qualifying capital dollar amounts in a qualifying commercial enterprise:

$1,000,000 (U.S.); or
$500,000 (U.S.) in a high-unemployment or rural area, considered a targeted employment area.
A qualifying investment must, within two years, create full-time jobs for at least 10 U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or other immigrants authorized to work in the United States, not including the investor and the investor’s spouse, sons, or daughters."

https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/Immigrant-Investor-Visas.html

Remember to update the house when you get your visa.

I don't think Nigeria has that E2 treaty with US that allows us to make such investment in US in exchange for green card.

Instead Nigerians who make investment in US can only get a b1 visa and make multiple trips to visit their US based investments and businesses. They however cannot stay and manage the business, only hire US citizens. You will be however subjected to US taxation and laws.

Modified: I think Nigerians can apply for the investor immigrant program under EB-5 category, so cosade you are correct
