No. A project payment does not itself establish statutory age protection or complete the child’s immigration requirements.
Separate commercial charges from legal eligibility
Verify the actual fee and purpose without treating an assurance as an immigration decision. Keep official application costs separate and do not assume that a more expensive investment automatically secures derivative eligibility.
Project subscriptions frequently carry an administrative fee charged separately from the qualifying capital, and that fee does not count toward the investment requirement. The project's administrative fee, government filing charges at each stage from the USCIS fee schedule, immigration counsel, source-of-funds accounting, translations, and the later removal-of-conditions filing. Distinguish capital from professional charges and money remaining outside the investment. Where a regional centre project is used, there is normally an administrative fee that is separate from the invested capital and generally not returned. A regional-center label alone does not establish that a particular project qualifies for the lower amount. USCIS charges a filing fee for the investor petition and a fee under the EB-5 Integrity Fund for regional-center investors, with amounts listed on Form G-1055 and subject to change. Keep administrative, legal, currency, and filing expenses separate unless the governing arrangement clearly treats an amount as qualifying capital.
