Only One Trump "Gold Card" Visa Has Been Approved so Far, Commerce's Lutnick Says
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the program has approved 1 applicant and has hundreds more in the queue under Department of Homeland Security vetting.
- On Thursday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told lawmakers that only one person has been approved for the Trump Gold Card visa, despite hundreds of applicants currently awaiting review.
- Launched in December, the initiative requires a $1 million payment for individuals or $2 million for corporations, plus a $15,000 processing fee, to grant expedited U.S. residency.
- Testifying before the House Appropriations Committee, Lutnick cited 'rigorous' vetting by the Department of Homeland Security and said officials wanted to ensure the program was implemented perfectly.
- Earlier, Lutnick claimed the administration had 'sold' $1.3 billion in Gold Card visas, creating a stark gap between previous assertions and the single approval disclosed Thursday.
- A federal lawsuit characterizes the program as an illegal 'fast track' that prioritizes wealth over merit, undermining traditional EB-1 and EB-2 visa pathways established by Congress.
