YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Trump’s Gold Card visa was supposed to attract the world’s wealthiest immigrants, but many immigration lawyers want nothing to do with it. ⚖️ The Washington Post reports that attorneys representing high-net-worth clients are steering people away from the program because they see it as legally questionable and financially risky. The Gold Card costs one million dollars per applicant plus another million for each family member. 💰 The biggest issue is that the program was created by executive order with no congressional approval, no clear regulations, and no legal protections stopping a future administration from eliminating it overnight. Michael Wildes, the attorney who has represented Melania Trump and the Kushner family, said he has rejected every Gold Card inquiry because charging clients for a program this uncertain would be unethical. 🚨 Out of hundreds of people who started the process, only a small number moved forward after paying the non-refundable filing fee. Meanwhile, serious investors are still choosing the EB-5 visa because it has a legal foundation and decades of stability behind it. Even attorneys close to Trump’s world are warning clients away from this program because they recognize the legal risks involved. Your immigration future deserves a path that can actually survive in court. 📲
