None of my non-US clients has ever been denied entry into the US on any visa because they were a shareholder or director of a US corporation. If anything, they have generally received visas faster than they did before becoming US investors.
Denying entry to foreign investors would actively discourage foreign investment in US industry, which is completely at odds with most of tax code. Indeed, US law is too generous to foreigners who own businesses in the US.
There are foreign investors or directors and then there are one man corporations with no employees, zero capital and where the only shareholder is a non-resident.
