继“金卡”之后,特朗普又想出挣钱新招:收取1000美元签证加急费
凤凰网财经· 2025-06-05 20:31
Core Viewpoint - The Trump administration is considering a $1,000 expedited fee for non-immigrant visa applicants seeking quicker interview appointments, in addition to the existing $185 visa fee [1][2]. Group 1: Proposed Changes to Visa Fees - The proposed $1,000 fee would allow certain applicants to bypass the standard waiting process for visa interviews [1]. - The plan may be piloted as early as December this year, but faces significant legal risks, including potential rejection by the White House budget office or the courts [2]. Group 2: "Gold Card" Proposal - The "Gold Card" plan, proposed earlier this year, suggests selling U.S. permanent residency for $5 million, aiming to replace the current EB-5 investment immigration program [2]. - This initiative is intended to help reduce the U.S. federal debt, which exceeds $36 trillion, with the potential to generate up to $1 trillion if 200,000 cards are sold [2]. Group 3: Implications for Immigration Policy - Experts warn that the legal feasibility of significantly altering existing green card programs without Congressional involvement is uncertain [2]. - The potential tax burden on applicants, as the U.S. taxes global income for citizens and green card holders, may deter interest in the program [3]. - The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) predicts a 7% decline in international tourism spending in the U.S. by 2025, influenced by Trump's policies and a stronger dollar [3].

Group 4: Strategic Recommendations - To remain competitive, Xipuni must consider moving away from traditional gold watch concepts and embrace new valuation logic, focusing on emotional value consumption [15]. - The introduction of smart gold watches, such as the dual-wear smart gold watch, represents an attempt to innovate, but it raises questions about market positioning and consumer interest [15][16]. - The company faces a challenge in balancing the collectible nature of gold watches with the technological advancements required for smart devices, which may lead to a conflict in consumer expectations [16].
