EAST FERRIS · GOLD CARD FIELD GUIDE

How does the Gold Card treat an East Ferris applicant's spouse and children?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Per person. As published, each accompanying spouse and each unmarried child under twenty-one adds a further nonrefundable processing fee and a further US$1 million gift, so a household's total is a multiple rather than a small increment.

A family of four is four applications, priced as four

Hypothetical example: the Beauchemin household near East Ferris is two parents and two children aged fourteen and nineteen, and the parents have modelled the program on the individual figure. The published structure charges per accompanying person: a further processing fee and a further US$1 million gift for each qualifying spouse and each unmarried child under twenty-one. Four people is therefore a different order of decision from one.

Two conditions attach to the children. They must be unmarried, and they must be under twenty-one, which makes the nineteen-year-old's birthday a scheduling fact rather than a detail. Paying for a person does not by itself grant that person anything; each family member's own admissibility is assessed, and the household's outcome still depends on the immigrant category the application proceeds through.

These are program terms rather than statutory ones, so the family should confirm the current family provisions officially before committing to any of it.
