Do not infer each person’s progress from one household transaction. Check the application record for each intended eligible spouse or unmarried child under 21 included initially.
Track people as well as payments
The current published amounts for each joining eligible relative are US$1 million plus US$15,000. Confirm what the communication covers; a shared folder or combined household budget does not show that each individual’s required review is complete.
The official framework leads to permanent residence through an existing employment-based category, and in those categories derivative status extends to the principal's spouse and unmarried children under 21. Identity and relationship documents for each person, evidence supporting the EB-1 or EB-2 category, proof of the source of the gift funds, and a dated copy of the official terms the family relied on. Compare initial inclusion with a later family step using the actual refusal issue and the spouses’ intended locations. A child of twenty-one or older is not covered as an accompanying child and would need a route of their own, so household arithmetic changes sharply with a birthday. Family inclusion also calls for separate identity, relationship and age records; a payment estimate is not a finding that each person qualifies.
