U.S. Gold Card – Individual FAQs

The U.S. Gold Card is an immigration pathway that allows qualified individuals to obtain U.S. permanent residency (Green Card) through a direct financial contribution to the U.S. government, demonstrating their ability to provide a substantial benefit to the United States.
Applicants are required to pay a $15,000 non-refundable DHS processing fee to initiate the application. Upon successful vetting and approval, applicants must also make a $1,000,000 contribution (gift) to the U.S. government.
Approved applicants receive U.S. lawful permanent resident status (Green Card) under applicable EB-1 or EB-2 classifications, as determined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Yes. Spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 may be included in the initial application. This ensures they receive the same benefits, including expedited processing. Each family member must submit a separate application and is subject to an individual $15,000 DHS processing fee and a $1,000,000 U.S. Treasury contribution.
Applicants begin by submitting their application and paying the required DHS processing fee. The U.S. government then conducts a comprehensive vetting process, including background checks and documentation review.

Upon approval, applicants are required to make the U.S. Treasury contribution. Once completed, the process proceeds to visa issuance and U.S. permanent residency (Green Card). The process is designed to follow an expedited processing framework, subject to timely submission of all required documents and completion of applicable steps
Once the application and DHS processing fee are submitted, the process is designed to be completed within weeks, subject to timely document submission and completion of any required visa interview.

E-2 status is typically granted for up to two years per entry and may be renewed indefinitely, provided the business remains active, compliant, and continues to meet E-2 requirements.

There is no fixed minimum investment. E-2 investments are assessed based on proportionality—meaning the investment must be appropriate to the size, type, and scale of the business. Most qualifying cases typically fall within a $100,000–$250,000 range, depending on the business structure.

Yes. Spouses and unmarried children under 21 may accompany the E-2 investor.
Spouses are eligible to apply for U.S. work authorization, while children may attend school but are not permitted to work.

The business must be real, active, and operating in the United States.
While some models may include online or international components, the enterprise must demonstrate meaningful U.S. operations, management presence, and economic impact.

The E-2 visa is a non-immigrant classification and does not directly lead to permanent residency. However, many E-2 investors later transition to immigrant pathways through business growth, restructuring, or strategic planning.
Depending on the investor’s profile and long-term objectives, potential future options may include employment- or investment-based immigrant pathways such as EB-1A (Extraordinary Ability), EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver), EB-5 (Investor Green Card), or other qualifying programs offered by GoGold USA. Each pathway is evaluated independently and requires separate eligibility.

Business growth is generally viewed positively, provided the enterprise remains compliant with E-2 regulations. Significant changes may require strategic review or updated filings, which is why ongoing planning and compliance oversight are important.
