Trump Gold Card: $15,000 application fee to buy US residency for $1 million, draft petition ready ahead of December 18 deadline

The Trump administration is moving forward with its Gold Card visa program, set for a December 18 launch. Applicants can secure permanent residency by donating $1 million (or $2 million for corporations), with a $15,000 non-refundable fee. This will give applicants eligibility under EB-1 or EB-2 categories after a thorough vetting process.
