Business News: The Gold Card Visa is a brand-new immigration option in the United States. It is designed mainly for wealthy foreign traders, investors, and entrepreneurs. To apply, candidates must pay a non-refundable fee. On top of that, they must deposit one million dollars as security. The visa promises long-term residence rights in America. But its high cost keeps it out of reach for ordinary skilled workers.
Indian professionals are the largest group using the H1B visa system. Almost three out of four H1B visas go to Indians. With the new Gold Card, many fear they will be pushed aside. The raised H1B fees already add pressure to Indian tech firms. For middle-class workers, paying such huge amounts is nearly impossible. This makes the US dream harder to achieve.
President Trump has introduced other visas too. These include the Platinum Card and the Trump Corporate Gold Card. Each has very high application charges and offers special benefits to investors. The clear message is that America wants rich entrepreneurs more than skilled employees. This marks a big shift from earlier immigration policies. It shows Trump’s focus on business investment over manpower.
Indian IT companies are now worried. They rely heavily on sending engineers to the US. With these new costs, companies may reduce hiring abroad. Skilled graduates may lose opportunities. Families hoping for American jobs may face disappointment. The issue has become a major topic of discussion in India’s business circles. The long-term impact could change the Indian tech industry.
Trump’s supporters say the Gold Card Visa will attract serious investors. They argue it will create more jobs for Americans. They believe rich foreign investors bring stability to the economy. For them, the system is not against Indians but simply favors capital. They say Indians too can benefit if they invest in America. Still, critics call it an unfair barrier for ordinary workers.
For Indian professionals, the future now looks uncertain. Many may search for jobs in other countries like Canada, Australia, or the UK. These nations offer friendlier visa systems for skilled workers. Unless America relaxes the rules, Indian migration there will decline. Students and job seekers will have to plan carefully. The Gold Card may be a golden deal only for the wealthy few.
The Gold Card Visa represents a clear change in US immigration policy. It shows Trump’s government wants to focus on money, not just talent. Indians who once found America welcoming now face tough decisions. Will they adapt or turn elsewhere for opportunities? This question now troubles thousands of young professionals and their families across India.
