Trump's 'Gold Card' Visa Program Sees Only One Approval

Since its launch in December, the 'gold card' visa program has approved only one applicant, according to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Lutnick noted that the application process is now finalized, with hundreds of applicants still waiting for approval.
Despite initial claims of raising significant revenue, critics argue the program prioritizes wealth over merit, undermining fair immigration practices.
