Only the actual agreement establishes the private scope. Official family charges and eligibility remain separate.
Name the covered people and amounts
Each eligible joining spouse or unmarried child under 21 adds US$1 million and US$15,000 under the programme. Do not assume the employer covers or recovers those sums without reading its terms.
List each family member's status under the existing employer-sponsored case, if any, including any derivative priority date or pending adjustment, and separately confirm the current Gold Card per-person costs and requirements. Under the official framework each person's participation carries its own processing fee, and the treatment of a spouse and children in the corporate-sponsored route should be read on the official page rather than assumed. Because the terms can change, the household should consult the official FAQ immediately before applying or transferring money and have a licensed U.S. immigration attorney confirm how they apply. Successful family applicants receive the privileges of the Gold Card framework, which currently results in lawful permanent resident status through EB-1 or EB-2 subject to eligibility, admissibility and visa availability. The practical decision is whether to include that person at the initial stage or use another available process later; do not let a shared address obscure separate eligibility and document requirements.
