No. Completion of improvements is a commercial milestone, not immigration permission. Use the actual approved status and process before beginning U.S. work.
Coordinate the premises and immigration records
Identify which commitments are complete and what remains conditional, including any permitted-use consent. Do not present unfinished work as completed to match a desired opening date. The investor must still satisfy nationality, control, capital, business and temporary-intent conditions; a ready premises cannot cure an unrelated eligibility gap.
Settle ownership first, then sign an agreement holding the price in escrow, and clear the regulatory consents so that the immigration decision is the only condition still outstanding when the application is adjudicated, because escrowed funds are treated as irrevocably committed only on that footing. Buyers manage the discomfort by structuring the transaction deliberately, with the funds released to the seller or into the business rather than held in a refundable arrangement, and by doing the diligence that makes the purchase worth making regardless of immigration outcome. Some qualifying arrangements involve funds held in an investment-in-process or escrow arrangement, so it is not accurate to assume every purchase must be fully closed before a review is useful; the actual terms should be reviewed first.
