The Gold Card

The order directs federal agencies to establish the "Gold Card" visa program, which is overseen by the Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security. This program allows aliens who make a significant financial gift to the United States to establish eligibility for an immigrant visa using an expedited process. The requisite gift amount is $1 million for an individual donating on their own behalf and $2 million for a corporation or similar entity donating on behalf of an individual. The funds will be used to promote commerce and American industry.
