Under the current official terms, a spouse and unmarried children under twenty-one may be included in the initial application, but each family member requires a separate $15,000 processing fee and $1 million gift. A married child or a person who is already twenty-one needs an independent route. Re-verify before paying.
Confirm person by person before paying
The current official framework treats each family member separately. A spouse and an unmarried child under twenty-one may be included in the initial application, but each person requires a separate processing fee and gift. A married child or a child who is already twenty-one does not fit that provision and needs an independent route.
For a family with a pending EB-5 case, compare each person's age, marital status and protection under EB-5's derivative rules with the Gold Card rule rather than assuming they match. The successful Gold Card result is lawful permanent residence through EB-1 or EB-2, so residence and tax consequences also need planning. Confirm visa availability and re-verify current charges and official payment channels before acting.
