In a move aimed at invigorating the U.S. economy and bringing in top-tier talent, President Donald Trump has announced the 'Gold Card' executive order.

The 'Gold Card' program offers expedited visa processing and a pathway to a Green Card for individuals who can pay $1 million to the U.S. Treasury, or $2 million if sponsored by a corporation. A nonrefundable processing fee is mandatory, after which applicants must promptly submit necessary documentation to move forward.
