I-140G
Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program
Form I-140G, Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program, is used to petition for an employment-based immigrant visa under the Gold Card program established by Executive Order 14351, The Gold Card (Sep. 19, 2025). An individual or a corporation or similar entity may file it.
The instructions call Form I-140G the first step in the Gold Card process. Once the petition is approved and an immigrant visa number is available, the principal beneficiary and any accompanying spouse or children included in the petition complete immigrant visa processing at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad before being admitted as lawful permanent residents.
The petition centers on money: the instructions say it has to show sufficient funds for an unrestricted gift to the U.S. Department of Commerce, and that all funds for the gift were lawfully obtained and will be transferred in compliance with U.S. law. The form itself says it can only be filed through a USCIS online account.
Self-petitioner or corporate petitioner, the number of people requesting a Gold Card, the commemorative plaque box, the signer's details, and for a company its registration, income, EIN, foreign government ownership and beneficial owners.
Each account the gift will be transferred from, any money-service business or third-party exchanger used, net worth or owner's equity, and each source of funding from income to cryptocurrency, plus gift donor or lender details.
Name, receipt number, birth and citizenship details, passport, addresses, last arrival and Form I-94, the requested consulate, 20 years of employment history, education, marital history and children not requesting a Gold Card.
The same kind of information for the spouse and each child of the principal beneficiary who also request a Gold Card in this petition.
Fourteen Yes or No attestation questions for a self-petitioner (Part 7) or a corporate official (Part 8), then the signature, interpreter and preparer sections and Part 12 for additional information.
The USCIS page says USCIS will contact you when it is time to create or log in to your USCIS online account to file. The PDF can help you gather answers, but it says not to submit the form in paper.
Select only one box, then give the total number of people requesting a Gold Card, counting the principal beneficiary and any spouse or children listed in Parts 5 and 6.
List each account the gift funds will come from. The instructions say a copy of the account owner's passport biographical page is needed when the petitioner is not the legal account owner.
The instructions list evidence for each source, such as five years of complete bank records for income. List the evidence with page or exhibit numbers in Part 12.
The form says to answer Yes to any question that applies, even if records were sealed or cleared, and to explain each Yes in Part 12 with relevant documents.
The self-petitioner or the corporate petitioner's authorized official signs. The instructions say an unsigned petition or an invalid signature leads to rejection or denial.
You get the real form, filled in a browser tab, with nothing standing between you and the finished PDF.
The USCIS page says Form I-140G can only be filed through a USCIS online account and cannot be filed by mail. Help is available by sending a message through that account after registration is confirmed.
The Form I-140G page states the fee, charged for each person included in the petition. The instructions say it is submitted to the Department of Commerce, is not refunded, and is in addition to the gift. Check the form page on the day you file.
Part 1 of the form prints the gift amounts. The instructions say wire instructions come after the immigrant visa interview, and evidence of the completed transfer is uploaded to the USCIS online account.
Corporate petitioners include an organizational chart and at least one of U.S. federal tax returns, annual reports or audited financial statements for each of the last 3 years.
Submit legible copies unless an original is requested. A foreign-language document needs a full English translation with the translator's signed certification and contact information.
USCIS may ask the petitioner and any beneficiary for biometrics or an interview. The instructions say a missed biometrics appointment may lead to denial.
