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.

I had an excellent experience working with Ashoori Law Firm. From start to finish, the entire team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and deep expertise in immigration law.

A special thanks to Miguel Diaz. He is extremely knowledgeable and clearly understands the nuances of Immigration cases at a very high level. Also, Lucia D'Alessandro legal specialist who worked with me in managing the documentation.

I would also like to sincerely acknowledge Geo Davidson, my Client Manager, and Charlotte Sanchez, the Client Success Manager. Both of them were always proactive, attentive, and ensured that every step of the process was smooth.

A special appreciation to Michael Ashoori, President of Ashoori Law, for building such a strong and dedicated team. It is clear that there is a culture of excellence and client care.

Attorney and law firms do make huge difference.
I recently had a consultation with Mr. Nathan West, the immigration attorney assigned to me at Ashoori Law, to discuss my options, chances, and the type of visa best suited for my situation.

He did an excellent job. He offered two calls due to the complexity of my case, and throughout both, he was highly knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. He provided clear and accurate answers to all my questions and explained every aspect of the visa process in detail.

He is an outstanding to work with. When I asked for personalized recommendations—especially important given how individual circumstances can vary—he was thoughtful and thorough in tailoring his advice to my situation.

Additionally, Ashoori Law as a firm was excellent. The overall experience was smooth, professional, and very well handled.

I truly appreciate the support and guidance I received. Thank you.
I can recommend Ashoori because my experience working with them was excellent. There are people who really know the way to get things done. There are people who have inside information on the processes and inner working of systems that can be a labyrinth of regulations and full of frustration. These people know how to get the results you desire with insight and knowledge that is truly impressive. And not common. Lawyers are not fungible. There are professionals who stand out. These are those people. Call them, trust them and they will take good care of your issue. Im glad I did for my green card replacement which was riddled with issues i could not resolve. Thanks to Ashoori Law it's solved.
We had an incredible experience working with this firm on our green card process. From start to finish, the team was attentive, proactive, and truly supportive.

What stood out most was how consistently the firm followed up throughout the process to ensure everything was moving forward smoothly and that we felt taken care of every step of the way.

Our lawyer was exceptional. He was responsive, extremely organized, and put together a thorough application package, providing both a hard copy and digital version for us to reference during appointments. That level of preparation made a huge difference.

He kept us informed as things progressed and made sure we were fully prepared for each appointment, including the interview, which gave us so much confidence going into it.

Overall, the process felt seamless thanks to their expertise and attention to detail. We’re so grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone navigating the immigration process.
Good experience all around. They looked after everything and even though there was one surprise from the embassy it was all looked after. I would highly recommend them for getting a USA visa.
Highly recommended! My process went very smoothly and I got my green card within estimated timeframe. While the timing doesn’t always depend on the firm, it helped enormously to ensure that paperwork was complete and correct. The communication has always been very consistent and quick. Thank you!
