Trump Administration Launches Website for Proposed “Gold Card” Program
In a development recently anticipated by Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, the Trump Administration has officially unveiled a new website for the proposed “Gold Card” initiative. The site allows interested individuals to sign up and be notified as soon as the program becomes available.
Key Points:
- No Formal Launch Yet: To date, there has been no legislation, executive order, or policy directive formally establishing the Gold Card program.
- EB-5 Program Remains Active: The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program continues to operate as a legally authorized pathway to permanent U.S. residency. It remains the fastest such option currently available.
- Legally Backed and Funded: Backed by decades of precedent, the EB-5 program is fully authorized through September 30, 2027, under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (RIA).
- Grandfathering Protections: Investors who file I-526E petitions (for conditional green cards) by September 30, 2026, are protected. Even if the EB-5 program is later discontinued, USCIS is required to continue processing these petitions.
While still in the proposal phase, the Gold Card initiative is seen as a promising addition to the U.S. investment immigration landscape. Supporters are particularly optimistic about its potential to reduce national debt, a goal aligned with EB-5’s proven track record of stimulating job creation and economic growth.
For now, EB-5 remains the most efficient route to permanent residency, but both programs are expected to complement each other in strengthening the U.S. economy and expanding opportunities for immigrant investors.
