Trump's Gold Card Visa: Only One Approval Amid Backlog And Legal Challenge

TL;DR
Only one approval has been granted under the Trump-era Gold Card program, which requires a $1 million gift to the Commerce Department plus a $15,000 processing fee for expedited permanent residency. DHS says approvals are limited and hundreds remain in the queue, a sharp contrast to earlier claims of broad sales, with Bloomberg noting a recipient (Jeffrey Chao) and multiple lawsuits challenging the program.
