President Trump’s announcement on February 25th regarding a new Gold Card Visa for U.S. immigration has sparked widespread discussion in mainstream media. As a result, La Vida has been approached by several global media outlets for insights, including Forbes India.
The U.S. EB-5 program has long been a preferred route for Indian investors seeking residency. With speculation that it could be replaced, many investors are now weighing their options—particularly as Trump’s proposal suggests a new $5 million investment threshold. However, the EB-5 program remains fully operational and is authorized to run until 2027 under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act, despite concerns about its future.
La Vida continues to assist investors looking to apply for the EB-5 program while it is still available. For those exploring alternative residency-by-investment options, our expert team is here to help.
