No shared completion date is guaranteed. The actual applicants, eligibility, visa availability and remaining steps must be established.
Keep flexibility tied to the real case
A principal’s payment or result does not establish the spouse’s status. If the plan changes, review the instructions and remaining process before booking a move as though both cases were already complete.
Review material dates promptly and do not assume a payment controls visa availability or processing. An adviser’s estimate for another route does not determine Gold Card vetting, visa availability or approval. The case remains subject to eligibility in the applicable EB-1 or EB-2 category, admissibility, visa availability and any required interview or documents. Follow official instructions for residence and obtain an individual assessment of any later citizenship eligibility. Track the instructions for the actual applicants and do not promise a shared move date simply because expenses have been prepaid. A private schedule does not control vetting, visa availability or the residence process. No fixed timeline should be relied on; vetting, classification and Visa Bulletin availability each can add time. Treat that as general official guidance, not a guaranteed move date, and recheck the current page before payment.
