USCIS releases new form and instructions to petition for an immigrant visa under the Gold Card program

On 10 December 2025, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published Form I-140G, Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program, an employment-based pathway to permanent residence created under Executive Order 14351. This program permits an individual or company to petition on behalf of an individual in the EB-1 extraordinary ability category or EB-2 exceptional ability category for foreign nationals seeking an exemption of the job offer requirement in the national interest, known as a National Interest Waiver (NIW). The USCIS website notes that registration on trumpcard.gov is required prior to filing the Form I-140G. After registration, USCIS will notify the submitter to proceed with filing Form I-140G online.
