Private terms cannot replace the actual derivative criteria or case-specific age analysis.
Review the eligible people included
Eligible children generally must be unmarried and under 21, with applicable CSPA protection assessed individually. Each eligible included spouse or child adds US$1 million and US$15,000 nonrefundable processing, including corporate cases.
A family package cannot alter who qualifies under the immigrant rules. Start with the principal’s online Gold Card application and US$15,000 nonrefundable DHS processing fee, then follow any USCIS prompt for Form I-140G. Assess a spouse and each unmarried child under 21 individually, including any applicable CSPA issue and their official payment requirements. The program relies on EB-1 or EB-2 classification, admissibility and visa availability; private guarantees waive none of them. The US$1 million gift for an eligible person is sought only after vetting and government instruction. It is a gift to the United States, not EB-5 investment capital. Re-verify family instructions before funds move.
Hypothetical example: a classical cellist in the Canton of Hatley considers including her spouse and a twenty-year-old son while a service company advertises “family approval assured.” She gathers marriage and birth records, records her son’s exact age and obtains case-specific CSPA analysis before relying on the package price. Each person’s eligibility, processing record and later instructed gift remains distinct. The provider may define a commercial refund, but it cannot keep a child eligible, create visa availability or replace the evidence supporting the cellist’s EB-1 or EB-2 basis.
