Gold Card vs EB-5 visa

The Gold Card is a revamped version of the EB-5 visa program, which was introduced in 1990 to attract foreign investors. However, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has confirmed that the Gold Card will replace EB-5.Lutnick announced that 1,000 Gold Cards have already been sold, raising $5 billion in a single day.
