Do not assume that it does. The official Gold Card instructions still anticipate visa processing and a required medical examination. Vetting, medical evidence, and the immigration decision have different functions. Follow the instructions received for your case and ask counsel about any unresolved admissibility issue rather than treating an earlier clearance as final approval.
Identify what the earlier notice actually decided
Suppose an applicant receives gift-payment instructions and interprets them as permission to cancel the medical appointment. Read the notice for its actual scope and compare it with the subsequent consular checklist. If a requirement appears inconsistent, obtain clarification through the proper channel before omitting it. The same principle applies to a requested follow-up: completion of a prior step does not establish that all later evidence is unnecessary.
The Gold Card process still requires eligibility for permanent residence, admissibility and visa availability under the relevant EB-1 or EB-2 determination. Eligibility is defined by the official program terms, not by the other spouse's TN offer. Corporate funding does not replace the individual’s category eligibility, admissibility or visa availability. The immigration basis remains an available EB-1 or EB-2 classification, admissibility, and other applicable requirements.
