Yes, the trigger affects the funding arrangement that must be assessed. It does not decide eligibility by itself: review the use of funds, release conditions and repayment provisions together. Neither escrow nor release automatically guarantees safety or compliance. Counsel can assess the documented structure; USCIS decides the petition.
Reading the trigger against the whole structure
Suppose the amended terms release funds to the new commercial enterprise the day the petition is filed, with a repayment obligation if the petition is denied. Three things then matter: what the enterprise may do with the money in the meantime, whether the repayment right is conditional or absolute, and whether anything guarantees a return. A guarantee of return sits differently from a conditional contractual remedy.
Identify the milestone that cannot occur without the additional money, the conditions for receiving it and any documented alternative. Ask counsel to identify which voting or policy powers support your role, and whether amendments could remove them. The petition asks about your capital, and gifted capital carries the donor's history with it. Full-time means a minimum of thirty-five hours a week, and two part-time roles cannot be added together to make one, although a genuine job-sharing arrangement is treated differently.
