As Nicki Minaj flashed her Trump Gold Card as the first major celebrity, interest in this new and the fastest route to gain legal residency in the US again garnered attention at a time the US shuts its doors to outsiders acting on its America First agenda. But Trump Gold Card is different as it is only meant for wealthy, corporates who can gift $1 to $2 million for this card. Trump Gold Card applicants have to pay a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee to initiate the procedure. Following a background check like other visa categories but faster, a $1 million payment has to be made to get a Trump Gold Card which assures lawful permanent status as an EB-1 or EB-2 visa holder.
After five years, Gold Card holders can apply for full citizenship.
