The official FAQ provides US$1 million plus a US$15,000 processing fee for an eligible joining spouse or unmarried child under 21. Check relationship and age eligibility rather than budgeting solely by headcount. A household plan should distinguish each person’s application from the company’s sponsorship of the employee. The US$15,000 processing charge is nonrefundable for each person, including corporate family cases. The FAQ recommends initial inclusion of eligible relatives who intend to join; assess any CSPA issue using actual case dates. Immigrant-visa derivatives enter with or after the principal.
Collect passports, marriage records, birth records, and evidence relevant to marital status and age, then confirm the current programme rules and underlying immigrant-law treatment before relying on a household budget. Employment-based nonimmigrant categories have established dependant rules that differ among themselves, and the Gold Card framework's family terms must be taken from its official materials. 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.
