The official FAQ instructs intended eligible joining family members to be included in the initial application with separate required amounts. Clarify the actual family scope before relying on a package description. Current official terms add a US$15,000 processing fee and US$1,000,000 gift for each eligible joining spouse or unmarried child under 21, including corporate cases; confirm individual eligibility and the operative instructions.
Identify the eligible people individually
Record the intended spouse and unmarried children under 21 and assess their individual eligibility. A principal’s paid service arrangement does not automatically cover relatives or grant them status.
Identity and immigration-history records for both spouses, evidence of the lawful origin of the funds for the gift and fee, marriage and birth certificates for any dependants, and a dated copy of the official program terms. A child nearing 21, a planned marriage, a nonmarital partner, an adult child, or a relative with a separate immigration history can materially affect household choices. Problems arise when a household treats the gift payment as a guaranteed immigration result, overlooks a family member's separate issue, or relies on a superseded fee statement. A marriage, a birth, a child reaching an age threshold, or a separation each alters who may be included, and a calculation built around a fixed list will not answer the question when it arises.
