Rebuild the household account for the actual people
Current terms add US$1 million and US$15,000 for each eligible joining relative. A family budget prepared for a predecessor may involve different people and does not establish anyone else’s inclusion or approval.
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.

Prepare a person-by-person schedule listing identity, relationship, age, intended classification, required processing payment, and any applicable gift amount. Review actual derivative eligibility and any applicable age-protection rules rather than treating payment as an automatic age freeze.

The review should identify the proposed immigrant classification, the person who will be the principal applicant, each accompanying family member and the evidence for admissibility and availability.
