Overview
- The executive order sets a $1 million gift for individuals and a $2 million contribution for company-sponsored applicants to seek expedited immigrant-visa processing.
- Commerce will run the initiative with State and Homeland Security, establish application and adjudication systems within 90 days, and manage a dedicated Treasury fund for the contributions.
- State and DHS are directed to treat qualifying gifts as evidence under employment-based visa statutes to accelerate decisions, with screening required for public safety and national security.
- Corporate sponsorship includes the ability to reassign the original gift to a different employee, along with mandated maintenance and transfer fees.
- A promoted $5 million Platinum option would, after DHS vetting, allow up to 270 days in the U.S. without tax on non-U.S. income, with sign-ups available via trumpcard.gov.
