No. Compare its scope with the current official obligations and identify any separate charges. A private quote does not establish legal eligibility or bind the government.
Ask what each amount actually covers
Distinguish preparation services, official processing and the later gift. Do not assume a familiar-looking total includes every intended family member or applicable corporate obligation.
The official description sets out a process in which the applicant submits an application with a processing fee, undergoes vetting, and makes the gift, after which eligible applicants receive permanent residence through an employment-based category subject to visa availability. Gold Card eligibility still requires the applicable EB-1 or EB-2 classification, admissibility, and visa availability; a new document number neither clears prior history nor supplies work authorization. Under the official framework, the gift made after successful vetting is treated as evidence for the specified EB-1 or EB-2 basis, while lawful-permanent-residence eligibility, admissibility and visa availability still apply. The first review should produce a dated checklist of the official program terms, the applicant’s identity and source records, and the immigration category or procedure the materials identify. A receipt from a private intermediary, or an assumption that a payment alone creates residence, does not settle either the gift-payment question or the separate immigration decision.
