Understanding the Gold Card

The Gold Card is a newly announced U.S. immigration option described as a pathway to lawful permanent resident status (a green card) for eligible applicants. It’s generally described as involving a government filing fee, government vetting, and a required contribution depending on the pathway. It is also described as being issued under an EB-1 or EB-2 category as determined by DHS and subject to availability. Requirements and procedures may change, and final decisions are made by the U.S. government.

Key Points

A nonrefundable $15,000 DHS processing fee may be required to apply.
After submission, applicants may go through government vetting and may be asked to provide additional documents or information.
If vetting is cleared, a separate contribution/gift may be required, and the amount may depend on the pathway (e.g., $1,000,000 for individual applicants and $2,000,000 per employee for corporate sponsorship).
If approved, applicants may receive lawful permanent resident status (a green card) under an EB-1 or EB-2 category, as determined by DHS and subject to availability.
Corporate sponsorship may involve additional fees, such as annual maintenance and transfer fees.

My experience with assure law is nothing less than absolutely wonderful. I contacted them For an E2 visa, but they suggested me to go for an E1 visa as I already had a business running with Clientele in the US. This already saved me a few hundred thousand dollars purchasing a business.

Next I was allocated Mr. Andrew as my lawyer who would file my case. We were very transparent and he was very critical about everything. This is one thing that I really appreciate about him. We filed the case after deep preparation and got approved.

I would recommend them anyday ! Thumbs up guys
I applied for my H1B visa through the Ashoori Law Firm. My attorney is Sheila. We could get approval for my H1B. They have a supportive, and friendly team. Thank you very much for your great service...🙏❤️
I cannot recommend Ashoori Law enough. I got to work with one of their lawyers Shruti Bali and she was incredibly professional and facilitated my O1 from start to approval! Ashoori managed everything perfectly and the whole experience was wonderful during a very stressful time.
I had a great experience working with Abraham Mendoza, who provided a clear and comprehensive introduction to the E‑2 visa process. He was exceptionally helpful and approachable, taking the time to explain each part of the procedure in a way that was easy to understand. His professionalism, patience, and willingness to answer all my questions made a strong impression. I genuinely appreciated his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for knowledgeable and reliable guidance on the E‑2 visa.
I started with Nathan West for an initial consultation. Although the meeting was scheduled for 30 minutes, Nathan generously spent 1.5 hours answering all my questions about E-2 and EB-5 visas. His thoroughness exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Ashoori Law for immigration needs.
The Ashoori Law team has been very responsive and helpful throughout my contacts with them. Ehsan Mehri and Matthew Larsen answered all my questions. Their knowledge and attention to detail gave me great confidence to work with them. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs help with their immigration goals.
