Try removing the tell block, it will still work. The "info for" command is part of the Standard Additions OSAX and doesn't need a particular application to work. Also, the visible property that you see in that property list is read-only. Look in the Standard Additions.osax dictionary under File Commands->Class file information and you will see:

visible boolean [r/o] -- Is the item visible?

I don't think so. When I execute:
tell application "Finder"
set theInfo to info for "MacOSX:Users:ronny:Desktop: Read Me.txt"
end tell

I get the properties list which also contains "visible:true" :
info for alias "MacOSX:Users:ronny:Desktop: Read Me.txt" {name:" Read
