Don’t you have to show you’ve employed Americans citizens or green card holders? Or is just showing some investment good enough?

Either way - pretty sure it easy enough to fudge the employees too.

Why fudge when you can just buy a mcdonalds as an investment and make clean money on top of it? Or real estate and hire the services of a property manager?
Even better when the "impacted area" your visa is fixing is in midtown Manhattan and you solve the blight by building your own luxury pied-a-terre after moving Harlem 80 blocks south.
