In a viral post on X, popular user Trendulkar has made waves by revealing that the price of a U.S. Green Card is now pegged at $5 million. The post compares the cost of obtaining the Green Card to that of an apartment in DLF Camellias, one of the most exclusive luxury residential complexes in Gurgaon, which has properties priced around $10 million.

The post has sparked debate and discussion across social media, as it highlights the growing divide between the wealthy elite and the average citizen in the quest for U.S. residency. The price of a Green Card at this level is believed to be tied to investor visa programs like the EB-5, which grants U.S. residency in exchange for a significant financial investment, typically in the form of job-creating enterprises in the U.S.

While many users on X questioned the morality of such a high price, others argued that for those in the upper echelons of wealth, this may represent a strategic financial decision — securing a U.S. Green Card could open doors to tax advantages, business opportunities, and a lifestyle synonymous with the American elite.

Netizen reacts:
