How to Immigrate to the United States

Brad asked:

My family is trying to start-up a small industrial operation in the US. Currently the company is incorporated in Canada, and I am wondering if anyone knows the procedures to follow in applying for Investor visas, business visas, do you have to incorporate in the US first, etc.

thanks

Who has more power, the immigration officer at the port of entry or the visa officer in a consulate/embassy to grant any non-immigrant status in either Canada or United States.
