Release of funds is not residence or work permission. Each applicant needs the applicable process and eligibility.

For immigrant-visa derivatives, the principal enters before or with them. Review family ages and CSPA independently of the wire date.
Government charges are set on Form G-1055 and include the investor-petition fee, the removal-of-conditions fee and the additional fee the reform law directs to an integrity fund; consular processing adds Department of State charges for each family member. The first review should produce a derivative chart keeping investor rights, household relationships, and separate admissibility visible.; each conclusion should point to the record that settles it. On approval the investor, spouse and unmarried children under twenty-one receive conditional permanent residence for two years, and the conditions are removed by filing Form I-829 with evidence that the capital remained invested and the jobs were created. Marriage and birth records establish relationship; they do not establish that a derivative continues to qualify, since eligibility for an unmarried child under twenty-one is assessed against the applicable rules at the relevant time rather than at the moment the record was issued. Derivative eligibility covers an eligible spouse and unmarried children under twenty-one, subject to any applicable child-status protection, and a pending case still confers no work or travel authorization on anyone.
