No, unfortunately, buying a house does not buy you a Green Card. This is a very common myth. You can own property here as a foreign national without any problem, but it doesn't give you the right to live here full-time. There are specific visas for investors (like the EB-5), but those require investing in a business that creates jobs, not just buying a vacation home.
