Donald Trump signed a decree on Friday creating a “golden” residence permit to one million dollars, referring to the famous “green card” that allows him to live and work in the United States.
“It will be a great success,” he predicted to the US president about this new system, which should allow foreign citizens “exceptional qualities” to obtain a “gold card.”
“Against the payment of one million dollars in the American Treasury, or, if a company sponsors them, two million dollars”, the candidates for this “Gold Card” “will benefit from an accelerated treatment of the visa procedure,” said a Donald Trump advisor.
$ 100,000 per year for an emblematic technology visa
President Donald Trump also announced annual costs of $ 100,000 for work visas widely used in the technological sector, and has been in his viewfinder for years.
H-1B visas allow foreign workers precise grades (scientists, engineers and computer programmers, among others) to come and work in the United States. These work permits are fixed, an initial three -year period, which can be extended to six years, for foreigners sponsored by an employer.
Donald Trump has published his desire to limit them since his first term to give priority to US workers. “The general idea is that these large technological companies or other sectors will no longer train foreign workers,” said Commerce Minister Howard Lunick, along with the US president in the Oval office, ensuring that “all large companies leave.”
