Trump Gold Card: How to Fill In Form I-140G And Submit a Complete Petition

Introduction

Trump’s Gold Card program is now live, and Form I-140G sits at the heart of every application. 

Filling it in correctly is critical: errors or omissions can trigger delays, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), or outright denials, even for otherwise strong candidates. 

Working with experienced immigration counsel significantly reduces these risks by aligning the EB-1/EB-2 legal requirements with the Gold Card’s intense financial vetting and by ensuring the I-140G file is complete, consistent, and strategically positioned before any money is committed.​

This guide explains how to approach Form I-140G in a structured way, using a step-by-step logic devised to maximise your chances of a successful petition. 

What Is Form I-140G?

Form I-140G must be filed electronically through a USCIS online account. The form functions as both an immigrant petition and a risk-assessment tool for the Department of Commerce and DHS, which explains why the background sections are unusually detailed.

Think of Form I-140G as the spine of your Gold Card petition. Around it, you build a coherent package that tells one clear story: who you are and what you have accomplished, how your work benefits the United States, where your money comes from, and why your family members are properly included.

How to Complete The Form I-140G: Step-by-Step Process

Step 1 – Confirm your Gold Card strategy before registering and touching the form

Before you start typing anything into Form I-140G, you should have three strategic decisions locked in:

• Gift structure: Decide whether you are filing as an individual (USD 1 million per person, including any accompanying legally married spouse and unmarried children below 21 years old) or through a corporate sponsor (USD 2 million for the principal, plus USD 1 million for each spouse/child under 21).​ The Corporate Gold Card is subject to a 1% annual maintenance fee and a 5% transfer fee if later transferred.
• Immigrant category: Choose EB-1A (extraordinary ability) or EB-2 NIW (exceptional ability with national-interest waiver), as the form requires you to indicate which classification you are requesting under the Gold Card framework.​
• Family composition: Confirm exactly who is requesting a Gold Card – principal beneficiary, spouse, and each child under 21 – because Form I-140G links the USD 1 million gift and USD 15,000 fee to each listed beneficiary.​

This mirrors the EB-2 NIW process, where strong petitions start from a clear category and evidence strategy rather than from the blank form fields themselves.​

Step 2 – Register and Pay Fees

• Go to trumpcard.gov and complete the Gold Card registration with basic personal and family details.​
• Pay the non-refundable USD 15,000 per person Department of Homeland Security processing fee for the principal and each family member you want on the application.​

Step 3 – Access Form I-140G

Form I-140G must be filed electronically through a USCIS online account. The sequence is:​

1. Create / log in to your USCIS online account at my.uscis.gov.
2. Access Form I-140G – Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program.​
3. Your petition is not properly filed and adjudication will not begin until your Form I-140G is submitted.​

At this stage, you are not yet transferring the USD 1–2 million gift; that occurs only after the petition passes vetting and receives conditional approval.​

Step 4 – Complete the petitioner and beneficiary sections correctly

Form I-140G is structured around who is petitioning (individual vs. corporate) and who is benefiting. Accuracy and internal consistency with your supporting documents are essential.

A. Petitioner information (individual vs. corporate)

• Individual petitioner: Enter personal information such as your full legal name, date and place of birth, current residential address, contact information, education and employment history. This must match your passport and the identity documents you will later upload.​
• Corporate petitioner: Enter information such as the company’s full legal name, registered address, Employer Identification Number (EIN), and authorized signatory; attach corporate formation documents consistent with the corporate disclosure later in the petition.​

Common pitfalls:

• Using shortened names that do not match passports or corporate records.
• Inconsistent addresses between Form I-140G, bank statements, and tax returns.

B. Principal beneficiary and dependants

You must then identify:

• Principal beneficiary: The person whose EB-1 or EB-2 NIW classification will be adjudicated (this may be the same as the individual petitioner or an employee in corporate cases).​
• Accompanying family members: Spouse and each child under 21 requesting a Gold Card on this petition, including information such as full names, dates of birth, relationship to principal, education and employment history.

Each listed beneficiary is tied to:

• A separate USD 15,000 DHS processing fee; and
• A separate USD 1 million share of the gift (or equivalent under the corporate rules).​

Leaving out a family member here means they are not part of this Gold Card petition and will not benefit from the contribution you plan to make.

Step 5 – Indicate your EB-1A or EB-2 NIW classification

One section of Form I-140G asks you to identify the immigrant visa classification you are seeking under the Gold Card program:

• Form I-140G EB-1A Extraordinary Ability: For individuals with sustained national or international acclaim in business, science, arts, education, or athletics, supported by evidence such as major awards, leading roles, significant media coverage, high remuneration, or influential contributions.​
• Form I-140G EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver): For applicants with exceptional ability or advanced degrees whose proposed endeavour has substantial merit and national importance, and who can show they are well positioned to advance that work in the United States.​

The form itself only captures this choice in a checkbox or short field; the real work is your accompanying petition letter and evidence exhibits, which must explain how you meet the EB-1A or EB-2 NIW criteria plus the specific Gold Card requirements.​

Step 6 – Complete the employment, background, and government-service history

Form I-140G also functions as a risk-assessment tool for the Department of Commerce and DHS, so the background sections are unusually detailed. Expect fields for:​

• 20-year employment history: Employers, positions, locations, and dates, with no unexplained gaps.
• Education: Post-secondary institutions, degrees, and dates (where applicable).
• Government and military service: Any positions ever held in foreign or domestic governments, state-owned entities, or armed forces.
• Criminal and security disclosures: Arrests, convictions, sanctions, or security-related issues, if any.
• Foreign government ties and politically exposed person (PEP) status: Board roles, advisory posts, or close family connections that may be relevant for enhanced due diligence.​

Every answer here must align with your supporting documentation: CV, reference letters, corporate filings, and source-of-funds narrative. Inconsistencies are likely to trigger additional questioning or RFEs.

Step 7 – Align Form I-140G answers with your source-of-funds package

While Form I-140G does not ask you to upload all financial evidence line-by-line, it includes fields requiring you to confirm that:​

• You have the funds available to make the required USD 1–2 million gift; and
• Those funds were lawfully acquired.

Behind those simple statements sits a large evidence bundle that should be prepared before filing, including:

• Five years of personal bank statements and seven years of tax returns for individual donors.
• Three years of corporate tax returns, audited financials, and ownership charts for corporate sponsors.
• Property sale documents, business sale contracts, inheritance paperwork, or investment records that match the “sources” you describe in the form.​

A best practice is to draft a written source-of-funds narrative that explains, in chronological order, how the wealth was built and how it will be moved into the Gold Card gift. References to employers, businesses, or assets in that narrative must match the entries you have already made in the employment and background sections of Form I-140G.​

Step 8 – Sign, certify, and verify all declarations

Toward the end of Form I-140G, you will find signature blocks and certifications for:

• Petitioner (individual or corporate representative).
• Interpreter, if one was used.
• Preparer, typically your immigration lawyer or law firm.​

Read the declarations carefully: you are certifying, under penalty of perjury, that the information is complete and correct, and that you understand the non-refundable nature of fees and gifts under the program. If a law firm or other preparer completes the form on your behalf, ensure all details are correct before you authorize electronic submission.​

Step 9 – Submit a coherent, “single story” petition package

Think of Form I-140G as the spine of your Gold Card petition. Around it, you should build a coherent package that tells one clear story:

• Who you are and what you have accomplished (EB-1A or EB-2 NIW evidence).
• How your work benefit the United States (national-interest or extraordinary-ability argument).
• Where your money comes from (source-of-funds narrative with exhibits).
• Why your family members are properly included (background, relationship and identity documents).​

When HLG prepares Trump Gold Card petitions, the team typically:

• Works with clients to prepare the Form I-140G (and the Form ETA 9089 if EB-2 NIW).
• Drafts a detailed legal brief to accompany Form I-140G, mapping evidence to each EB-1A or EB-2 NIW prong plus the Gold Card-specific financial and transparency requirements.
• Cross-checks every field in the form against passports, CVs, tax returns, and corporate documents to eliminate contradictions.
• Prepares clients for follow-up requests from Department of Commerce and USCIS, including potential interviews or RFEs.​

Submitting a “complete” Form I-140G is therefore not just about filling every field; it is about ensuring that each answer fits into a consistent, well-evidenced narrative that satisfies both the immigration and financial-vetting sides of the Trump Gold Card program. 

For high-net-worth applicants and corporate sponsors, investing time and professional support at this stage is often what separates fast approvals from costly delays.

Complete Document Checklist for Form I-140G Petition

Below is a practical checklist you can use to prepare the documents needed to complete and support a Trump Gold Card Form I-140G petition. Exact items will vary by case, but most applicants will need versions of everything listed here.​

1. Identity and civil status documents

For principal applicant and each dependant requesting a Gold Card:​

• Current passport (bio-data page; plus any previous passports if relevant to travel/Residence history)
• Birth certificate (long-form where available)
• Marriage certificate (if applicable)
• Divorce/death certificates for any prior marriages (if applicable)
• National ID cards (where issued)
• Recent passport-style photos (per USCIS specifications)

If any document is not in English, add:​

• Certified English translation
• Translator’s certificate (name, signature, statement of accuracy)

2. Evidence of EB-1A or EB-2 NIW eligibility

You must show that the principal beneficiary qualifies under either EB-1A (extraordinary ability) or EB-2 NIW (exceptional ability/national interest waiver):​

Typical items include:

• Detailed CV/resumé (20+ years if available, matching what you enter on Form I-140G)
• Degree certificates and transcripts (bachelor’s, master’s, PhD, professional qualifications)
• Employment letters / reference letters describing roles, duties, dates, and achievements
• Evidence of major awards, honors, or prizes (EB-1A)
• Media coverage, press articles, interviews, industry profiles
• Proof of high compensation (contracts, pay slips, tax documents)
• Publications, patents, citations, or industry standards you contributed to
• Letters from independent experts explaining your impact and national-interest value (especially for NIW)
• Business plans or project descriptions showing the proposed U.S. endeavour and its national importance (for EB-2 NIW)​

Your lawyer will typically package these into a structured exhibit list that aligns with the EB-1A/EB-2 NIW criteria and references them in a legal brief.​

3. Source-of-funds and wealth documentation

This is the heaviest part of the Trump Gold Card file. You must document the lawful origin of all money that will be used for the USD 1–2 million gift and the USD 15,000 fees.​

For individual petitioners

• Personal bank statements for the last 5 years (all relevant accounts)​
• Personal tax returns for the last 7 years (all jurisdictions where you are tax-resident)​
• Employment income evidence (contracts, pay slips, bonus letters)
• Business income evidence (K-1s, profit distributions, shareholder resolutions, etc.)
• Real estate documents if funds come from property:
• Title deeds
• Sale contracts
• Closing statements and bank proofs of proceeds
• Business sale documents, if relevant:
• Share purchase agreements
• Valuation reports
• Completion statements and bank proofs of proceeds

• Investment records (brokerage statements, fund statements, private equity exits)
• Inheritance documentation (wills, probate orders, distribution statements)
• Insurance or litigation proceeds (settlement agreements, payout records)
• Crypto assets (if used), with:
• Exchange statements
• Blockchain transaction IDs
• Wallet histories and KYC from regulated exchanges​

For corporate petitioners

• Corporate tax returns for at least 3 years​
• Audited financial statements and annual reports for 3 years
• Company bank statements (operating and treasury accounts)​
• Corporate registration / good-standing certificates
• Shareholder register / cap table and ownership structure chart
• Board resolutions authorizing the Gold Card sponsorship and gift
• Evidence of corporate profits or retained earnings funding the gift

4. Net-worth and financial summary

To tie the above together, USCIS and the Department of Commerce expect a clear summary of your finances:​

• Personal net-worth statement (assets and liabilities, with approximate values)
• For corporate sponsors: corporate net-worth or solvency summary
• Narrative “source-of-funds” statement explaining, chronologically, how the wealth was created and how it will be transferred into the Gold Card gift​

Numbers and entities in this narrative must match what you enter in the employment, business, and property sections of Form I-140G.​

5. Employment, government, and background history

Form I-140G asks for 20 years of work and public-service history for the petitioner and, in some parts, for the beneficiaries as well.​

Prepare:

• 20-year employment history table:
• Employer names, addresses, roles, dates of employment

• Evidence for key positions (contracts, appointment letters, promotion letters)
• Details of any government, military, or state-owned-enterprise roles (with supporting letters where possible)​
• Explanation of any periods of self-employment, sabbaticals, or gaps

You will also need:

• Police clearance certificates (where requested) from countries of residence (typically from age 16 or last 10 years, depending on final instructions)​
• Any court records, if you have ever been arrested or convicted (plus legal opinions where appropriate)

6. Civil and family relationship evidence

To include family members on the petition:​

• Marriage certificate (for spouse)
• Birth certificates for each child under 21
• Adoption decrees (if applicable)
• Evidence of custody and consent for a child if parents are divorced/separated
• Proof of name changes (deed poll, marriage certificate, court order)

7. Immigration and travel history (if applicable)

• Copies of current and prior U.S. visas and entry stamps
• I-94 travel history printout (if you have been in the U.S.)
• Records of prior U.S. immigration filings (I-140, I-130, I-526, etc.), approvals, or denials​
• Any prior removals, overstays, or status violations with full documentation and legal explanations

8. Corporate and professional documents (case-specific)

For business-heavy or corporate-sponsored cases:​

• Company brochures, websites, and pitch decks
• Organizational charts showing your role
• Major contracts, JV agreements, or MOUs showing your business impact
• Industry awards or rankings for your company

9. Standard immigration supporting items

While details may be finalized by USCIS instructions, you should anticipate:​

• Completed Form I-140G (online) with all required digital signatures
• Evidence of payment of the USD 15,000 per-person DHS filing fee
• Medical examination results, if later requested as part of immigrant visa / adjustment stage
• Biometrics appointment notice (to be attended when scheduled)

10. Translation, formatting, and consistency controls

Finally, ensure:

• Certified English translations for every non-English document​
• Clear labelling of exhibits (e.g., “Exhibit 4A – 2019 Personal Tax Return”)
• Internal consistency: names, dates, figures, and entities appear the same across the form, narrative, and documents​

Working with experienced immigration counsel is strongly recommended, as the Gold Card demands one of the most extensive source-of-funds and background files of any U.S. immigration pathway. 

Counsel will tailor this checklist to your profile and jurisdiction mix.

Common Mistakes That Could Cause Denials

 Weak or inconsistent source-of-funds evidence

• Providing only high-level bank statements without a clear paper trail from original earnings, business exits, real estate sales, or inheritances.​
• Large unexplained deposits or transfers that are not supported by contracts, tax returns, or sale documents.
• Crypto funds with no compliant exchange records or blockchain traceability.

Result: concerns about money laundering or unlawful origins, leading to RFEs or outright denials even if the applicant meets EB-1/EB-2 standards.​

Starting documentation too late

• Underestimating how long it takes to collect 5+ years of bank records, 7 years of tax returns, old corporate accounts, and documents from multiple countries or banks.
• Discovering gaps (closed accounts, missing tax years, incomplete corporate files) after filing instead of fixing them beforehand.​

Result: missed RFE deadlines, incomplete responses, and petitions denied for failure to prove lawful capital or full transparency.

Incomplete employment and background history

• Leaving gaps in the 20-year employment timeline or omitting short roles, board seats, or advisory positions.​
• Not disclosing government or military roles, or under-reporting politically exposed person (PEP) connections.

Result: credibility issues; officers question what else might be hidden and may deny the petition for misrepresentation or insufficient information.​

Poor EB-1A / EB-2 NIW strategy

• Choosing EB-1A or EB-2 without well documented eligibility for the selected option.
• Filing EB-2 NIW without a clear, documented U.S. national-interest project or strong proof that the applicant is “well positioned” to advance it.
• Re-using generic or weak recommendation letters that do not map to the legal criteria.

Result: the Gold Card gift does not “buy” eligibility; USCIS still denies for not meeting EB-1A/EB-2 NIW standards.​

Form and filing errors

• Filing Form I-140G on paper instead of online, or filing before properly registering on trumpcard.gov and receiving the invitation to file.​
• Not filing all required forms (e.g. not including an ETA-9089 if seeking EB2-NIW classification)
• Missing or incorrect electronic signatures, outdated form versions, or inconsistent names/dates between the form and evidence.
• Not translating foreign-language documents with certified English translations.

Result: rejection for improper filing or denial because required evidence is missing or not in usable form.​

Underestimating visa caps and backlogs

• Assuming payment of the gift guarantees fast gold cards, without checking EB-1/EB-2 visa-number availability by country of birth (especially India and China).​
• Structuring life and business plans around unrealistic timelines, then facing long waits at the immigrant-visa or adjustment stage.

Result: disappointment and strategic misalignment; in some cases, petitions can lapse or be withdrawn if expectations are not managed.

Ignoring RFEs or biometrics notices

• Missing deadlines for Requests for Evidence; submitting partial responses that do not fix the deficiencies raised.​
• Failing to attend biometrics or consular interviews without rescheduling.

Result: straightforward denial for abandonment or failure to comply with process requirements.​

Working with experienced immigration counsel significantly reduces these risks by aligning the EB-1/EB-2 legal requirements with the Gold Card’s intense financial vetting and by ensuring the Form I-140G file is complete, consistent, and strategically positioned before any money is committed.​

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE APPLICATION STEPS, TIMELINE AND FEES

1. Online registration and initial DHS fee

• Go to trumpcard.gov and complete the Gold Card registration with basic personal and family details.​
• Pay the non-refundable USD 15,000 per person Department of Homeland Security processing fee for the principal and each family member you want on the application.​
• Example: principal + spouse + 2 children = 4 × 15,000 = USD 60,000.​

What you get:

• A confirmation of registration and, once accepted, instructions to create or link a USCIS online account to file Form I-140G.​

2. Prepare and file Form I-140G with evidence

• Create/log in to your USCIS online account and select Form I-140G – Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program.​
• Access Form I-140G
• Complete all sections (petitioner details, beneficiaries, EB-1A vs. EB-2 NIW classification, 20-year employment history, government service, security questions, etc.).​
• Upload supporting evidence:
• Identity and civil documents
• EB-1A / EB-2 NIW qualification evidence
• Detailed source-of-funds documentation
• Net-worth summary and background records.
• ​Any additional required forms

Fees at this stage:

• No additional USCIS fee beyond the USD 15,000 per person already paid at registration; that fee is the Form I-140G filing fee.​

What happens next:

• USCIS and the Department of Commerce begin vetting: lawful funds, compliance, national-interest rationale, and EB-1/EB-2 eligibility.​
• You may receive Requests for Evidence (RFEs) if anything is unclear or incomplete.​

3. Security checks, biometrics, and vetting

• USCIS may issue a biometrics appointment notice (fingerprints, photo, signature) for the principal and dependants, depending on where they are located.​
• The Department of Commerce and DHS run enhanced due diligence, background, and sanctions checks, including on source of funds and any government ties.​

Fees:

• No separate government fee beyond what you have already paid, but you may incur third-party costs (translations, police certificates, couriers, legal fees).​

4. Conditional approval and payment of the “gift”

If vetting is successful and USCIS agrees you meet EB-1A or EB-2 NIW standards, you receive a conditional petition approval subject to payment of the required gift.​

Gift amounts to the U.S. Department of Commerce:​

• Individual (self-petition):
• USD 1,000,000 per person requesting a Gold Card (principal + each spouse/child).
• Corporate petition:
• USD 2,000,000 for the principal beneficiary;
• USD 1,000,000 for each dependant (spouse/children) also receiving a Gold Card.

These payments:

• Are non-refundable “gifts”, not investments; no equity, return, or repayment.​
• Are made only after background approval, via designated federal payment channels (e.g., pay.gov).​

5. Immigrant visa or adjustment of status

How do I know if I-140 is approved?, Once the gift is received and your Form I-140G is fully approved, the case moves to the final immigration stage, still subject to visa-number availability and per-country quotas in EB-1 or EB-2:​

• If outside the U.S.:
• Complete consular processing (immigrant visa) through a U.S. embassy/consulate using a Gold Card-specific immigrant visa form (e.g., DS-260G when live).​
• If lawfully in the U.S.:
• File for adjustment of status (Form I-485 and related forms), when eligible.​

Typical additional costs (approximate / separate from Gold Card fees):

• State Department immigrant visa fees or USCIS adjustment fees for each applicant.​
• Medical exams, biometrics (if charged separately), and local document fees.

6. Gold card issuance and long-term costs

If the immigrant visa/adjustment is approved:

• You and approved family members become U.S. lawful permanent residents (equivalent of green card holders).​
• After 5 years of permanent residence, you may be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship, subject to standard naturalization rules.​

Longer-term costs and obligations can include:

• Routine gold card renewal fees (if you do not naturalize).​
• U.S. tax and reporting obligations tied to U.S. residence and citizenship.​

Summary of core government fees (per person)

• USD 15,000: Non-refundable DHS/USCIS processing fee, paid at online registration / Form I-140G filing.​
• USD 1,000,000 (individual) or USD 2,000,000 + 1,000,000 per dependant (corporate): Non-refundable gift to the U.S. Department of Commerce, paid after background approval.​
• Standard immigrant visa / adjustment fees at the final green-card stage.​

Law and implementation details are still evolving, so any serious applicant should have counsel confirm the current sequence and exact fees before paying or filing.
