The Trump Gold Card is a visa based upon an individual’s ability to provide a substantial benefit to the United States. To apply, an applicant must pay a nonrefundable $15,000 DHS processing fee. Once the fee is received, the process for petition approval and visa adjudication takes place on an expedited basis, assuming applicants submit any additional documents or fees in a timely manner.
A $1 million gift upon completion of the individual’s vetting is evidence that the individual will substantially benefit the United States. Additional small fees to the U.S. Department of State may apply depending on the applicant.
