Picture a Lions Bay household with the means to consider the Gold Card program, wanting to understand the mechanics before registering anywhere. Because this program is new and runs on executive action rather than long-standing statute, verifying current details directly is especially important.

Gold Card is one of six pathways tracked here, alongside TN, L-1A, L-1B, E-2 and EB-5. For a high-net-worth household, comparing Gold Card against EB-5 on cost, process and legal footing is a reasonable starting point.

The Gold Card program is built around a federal registration step, a USCIS petition on Form I-140G tied to an existing employment-based immigrant category, and a financial contribution. Each of those pieces has moved since the program launched, so current figures should always be checked directly.

A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
01
Register through the official federal site
Confirm the current registration process at the government's dedicated Gold Card site before assuming any earlier description of the steps still applies.
02
Identify the underlying immigrant category
Form I-140G is used to petition under existing employment-based classifications, such as extraordinary ability or a national interest waiver, so understand which one your case would rely on.
03
Confirm current fees and contribution terms
Reported figures for the required contribution and processing fee have varied across sources since the program began; verify the current terms directly from USCIS or the official registration site before planning around any specific number.
04
Get independent financial and legal review
A contribution-based immigration program has tax, estate and legal dimensions beyond the immigration filing itself; independent professional advice on those questions is worth arranging early.

LET’S CLEAR
A FEW THINGS UP.
What is the Gold Card program based on?
It was established by executive order and is implemented through USCIS Form I-140G, which is used to petition for lawful permanent residence under existing employment-based immigrant categories such as extraordinary ability or a national interest waiver, according to USCIS.
Where does registration happen?
USCIS guidance indicates that Form I-140G can only be filed after registering through the federal government's dedicated Gold Card registration site, and the form itself is submitted through a USCIS online account rather than by mail.
Why should I confirm the fee amount before proceeding?
Reported contribution and fee figures for the program have differed across news coverage and secondary sources since it launched in late 2025, reflecting a program still being implemented. Checking the current terms directly with USCIS or the official registration site avoids relying on an outdated figure.
Because it rests on an executive order, could the program change?
That is a reasonable question to raise. A program created by executive action can be modified or challenged in ways a long-standing statutory program like EB-5 generally is not, so factoring that uncertainty into your planning and timeline is sensible.
