More details to this question:
My boyfriend is overseas and I would like to see the opportunities to open a business here in the states. I do want him to visit. I guess if he comes on a visit and sees the right opportunity it would be a good move. We need a visa that would not take a long for the process. Example, if he applied next month how long the certain visa would take to complete and for him to be able to come to the states? Thank you!

Such visas could be L-1, E-2, H-1B, EB-5, etc. They take from 15 days to 6 months typically.

This will depend upon what country he is from and his business background. He may either be able to seek professional employment or an investment opportunity in the US. He will want to determine if a business visitor visa would be the best option at this time, or if there are other options for him to consider.

If he has $100,000 to invest, he should look at the E2 visa if he is from a country on the E2 list. If he just wants to visit, the B visa is easier.

He can try to apply for a B1/B2 visa. Times will depend on what country he is from.
