You ask some good questions, but the basic problem is that you're thinking of a visa as being similar to a transferable property interest. It isn't, and the administrative, temporal, and fiscal costs of adjusting immigration status are pretty high for an individual.

Oh I see - sorry about the misunderstanding.
