THE DIRECT ANSWER

Shared facts may be consistent, but each person’s own information must remain accurate. Do not copy an individual history into another relative’s record.

Review each applicant’s responses

The FAQ recommends initially including the intended eligible spouse and unmarried children under 21, each with US$15,000 and US$1 million. Coordination does not make their identities, experiences or requested answers interchangeable.

The published terms include unmarried children under 21, each with a separate gift and fee. The current official FAQ says that a spouse and unmarried children under twenty-one should be included in the principal's initial application. Review what the private agreement actually pays while preserving the programme’s per-person obligations. The published processing charge is per person, regardless of how transfers are arranged. Confirm how each person is linked in the online submission, which email and mailing details appear in the official record, and whether any USCIS or State Department instruction requires a response. Once permanent residence is granted, a spouse and children may work and study without restriction. The application file should connect each family relationship and age record to the person for whom the payment is proposed. Do not promise that a parent’s payment automatically includes a spouse or child.
