Separate donor participation from household eligibility
List the donor’s financial role separately from the people seeking immigration benefits. Review each eligible child’s actual dates and marital status rather than assuming investment or filing automatically freezes age.

A child who reaches twenty-one during the process can lose eligibility, although provisions exist that may protect a child’s age in defined circumstances, and those provisions have to be checked against the particular timeline. Record each family member's country of birth as well, since chargeability generally follows birthplace rather than residence or passport and can change the waiting picture materially.
