Each joining legally married spouse adds US$15,000 plus a US$1 million qualifying gift, and that applies on the corporate route as well. So a corporate principal at US$2.015 million plus a spouse reaches US$3.03 million. Initial inclusion is officially recommended for programme benefits; later addition is neither impossible nor free.
Who may join, and on what basis
A legally married spouse and an unmarried child under 21 may be included; an 18-year-old is not excluded merely for being an adult. Inclusion still depends on the family member's own eligibility and admissibility, not on household preference alone. Where residence has already been granted, it is not automatically cancelled by a birthday or a marriage — but a pending case can be affected by such changes.
The first review should identify every intended principal and derivative, the applicable corporate arrangement and the official payment instruction for the particular application. The published family amounts are separate for each eligible joining person; obtain the current official instructions for the actual replacement scenario.
