Introduction - Gold and Platinum Cards Are Reshaping Immigration

On September 20, 2025, Fox Business reported on the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration overhaul, highlighting not only a new $100,000 H-1B visa application fee but also the official rollout of the Gold Card ($1M) and Platinum Card ($5M) programs (Fox Business).

The Gold and Platinum Cards leverage existing EB-1 and EB-2 visa categories to grant lawful permanent residency, while sidestepping the complex requirements of EB-5. This signals a new era: capital-based immigration is being streamlined, while employment-based and skills-based pathways are facing escalating costs and barriers. Gold and Platinum Cards Are Reshaping Immigration.

Lesson from Charge Like a Bull

In Charge Like a Bull, I teach that growth belongs to those who anticipate volatility. The Gold and Platinum programs are a live example. The immigration rules didn’t just shift — they flipped overnight. Bulls don’t wait for the dust to settle. They charge forward with clarity, capital, and conviction.

Lesson from Lead Like a Lioness

Lead Like a Lioness emphasizes the Pride Method — transformational vision paired with relentless results. Lionesses protect the pride by scanning the horizon, not by reacting in panic. Leaders in immigration, business, and investment must do the same. The Gold and Platinum Cards are not just new visa options; they are signals of a global trend where things are changing. To lead, you must stay alert and position your pride accordingly.

What the Gold & Platinum Cards Mean

Gold Card – $1M investment
Platinum Card – $5M investment

For entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders, the message is simple: resilience and readiness are no longer optional. In a world where policies pivot overnight, those who charge like a bull and lead like a lioness will not just survive — they will thrive.
