📝 NOTES

Created by Executive Order 14351 (September 19, 2025). The official program site is accepting individual applications with a nonrefundable $15,000 DHS processing fee and, after vetting, a $1,000,000 gift. Corporate sponsors pay the same processing fee plus a $2,000,000 gift per employee, with maintenance/transfer fees. Successful applicants receive lawful permanent resident status as EB-1 or EB-2 visa holders if otherwise eligible and a visa is available. Each spouse or unmarried child under 21 included in the initial application is subject to an additional $15,000 fee and $1,000,000 gift. EB-5 remains active as a parallel pathway.
