U.S. Gold Card – Corporate FAQs
Business sponsors must pay:
- A $15,000 DHS processing fee per employee
- A $2,000,000 U.S. Treasury contribution (after approval)
- Ongoing fees include a 1% annual maintenance fee
The existing sponsorship and contribution may be reassigned to a new employee without an
additional $2,000,000 payment, subject to a 5% transfer fee (including the cost of the new
employee’s background check and renewed vetting).
After successful vetting and approval:
- The required U.S. Treasury contribution is completed
- The employee proceeds with immigration processing
- Approved applicants are eligible to receive U.S. permanent residency (Green Card)
Yes. Spouses and unmarried children (under 21) may be included. Each family member must:
- Pay a $15,000 processing fee, and
- Make a $1,000,000 contribution, and undergo individual evaluation
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.
