$1 Million Gold Card Visa Program Has Approved Only One Applicant So Far!
As reported by nbcnews: Lutnick said that the government had sold $1.3 billion "worth" in just several days. It's meant to replace the EB-5 program, a decades-old program that offered U.S. visas to people who invested about $1 million in a company with at least 10 employees.
Though only one person has been approved, "there are hundreds in the queue that they are going through," said Lutnick.
Each applicant pays a $15,000 fee for "rigorous vetting" of those applying to the program that eventually opens a path to U.S. citizenship.
While Trump has created a presidential identity partially around deporting immigrants without legal status, he has repeatedly supported skilled immigration to the U.S., which the gold card program could facilitate.
