according to Trump, at least $5 million for a permanent visa which puts you on track to obtain citizenship through the new EB-5 program
nice to know previous administrations not only handed 'visas' out for free, but wrapped them with a ton of financial support for housing, food, medical, and even transportation
Trump's genius is to let companies buy them for people with highly desirable skills and talents; e.g., Apple can buy 20 in advance and use them as a recruitment tool
proceeds will be used to pay down debt, every 200k EB-5 Gold Cards retires $1T in debt
now if someone injures my citizenship by denying me rights guaranteed by the Constitution, can I sue them for $5m damages or something else?
It should include all foreign student visas as well...cash up front...act up ...you lose your payment and get sent home..
1) These are not visas, these are green cards. Program started in 1968
2) the program has been around for many years but it was set at $500000
3) it’s a fraud riddled program. Chinese will love it . They figured out a way to cheat.

It's kind of a tariff on engineers/tech folks who come from overseas...may help our own engineering grads compete for those jobs.
Love the idea, but that's a lot of money just for citizenship. If it works what a great move.
