Not as a substitute for checking each person’s inclusion, requirements and costs. The official FAQ imposes separate family commitments and retains eligibility conditions.
Track the people separately
List each included spouse or eligible child and the information still needed. Have age and status questions assessed. A principal’s fee or gift should not be described as automatically securing every family member’s permanent residence. Each included spouse or eligible unmarried child under 21 entails a US$1 million gift and US$15,000 nonrefundable processing fee, including families of corporate-sponsored principals. The FAQ recommends inclusion with the initial application. Review any CSPA issue individually; immigration eligibility and visa availability remain separate from payment.
Record the change and seek the correct current instructions; do not invent a universal rule that everyone must withdraw together or that remaining family members automatically continue unaffected. Record every intended relative by name, relationship and date of birth at the outset and watch the ages, because a child who reaches twenty-one before the relevant point can lose derivative eligibility while the rest of the household proceeds. A second child, a child reaching an age threshold during the process, a marriage, or a separation each alters who is included and therefore the total, and a budget written around a fixed household will not answer the question when it arises.
