Aren't there consulting firms that cater to this very need? The informal discussions I've heard around EB5 visa in India are that these firms group multiple such individuals and then start/run a business for this group (something like a medical practice clinic or a hospitality franchise) until they qualify for the green card, for a fee of course.

Yes indeed there are consulting firms and websites listing EB5 investment projects. I turned to hacker news community because this is a place one can get some out of the box ideas :)
