The Gold Card is Here: What to Expect

Join us for a timely webinar examining the Trump Gold Card Program, a new immigration pathway established under President Trump’s Executive Order 14351. This initiative provides a potentially expedited route to U.S. permanent residency for foreign nationals who make a significant financial contribution to the United States.  It also provides a pathway for an employee on whose behalf an employer contributes. 

This session will provide the latest interpretation of the program’s framework, including the application process, eligibility requirements, and compliance obligations for prospective applicants. We will also discuss how the Gold Card differs from other programs such as the EB 5 investor visa, and what applicants should expect in terms of vetting, lawful-source-of-funds scrutiny, and disclosure requirements.

Topics will include:

• Overview of Executive Order 14351 and the establishment of the Trump Gold Card
• Application filing process with the Department of Commerce
• USCIS draft Form I 140G and application fee requirements
• Financial contribution thresholds
• Rigorous vetting procedures by USCIS, including lawful-source-of-funds review
• Agency process for issuing immigrant visas and granting permanent residence status
• Comparison with the prospective Platinum Card, the EB 5 immigrant investor program and implications for global mobility strategies

Who should attend:

Global mobility professionals, corporate counsel, employees, and high-net-worth individuals considering U.S. permanent residency options. This session is also relevant for HR leaders and executives responsible for workforce planning who want to understand how the Gold Card program may impact talent acquisition and retention.
