The official FAQ requires eligibility for permanent residence, U.S. admissibility and an available visa. A contribution does not establish every part of that assessment.
Start with the applicant, not the payment
Give immigration counsel your nationality, place of birth, immigration history and proposed household composition. Ask which classification and processing route may apply, and what unresolved issues could prevent proceeding. This guide does not decide eligibility or supply a substitute filing assessment.
Claims about eligibility should each be traceable to a record that a stranger could read. Hypothetical example: The owner of an insurance brokerage is told by an intermediary that participation is straightforward because the funds are available and the business is profitable. Neither fact touches the questions the official FAQ actually raises: eligibility for permanent residence, admissibility, and an available visa.
What settles the first is the evidence supporting whichever classification applies; the official programme describes processing under existing classifications determined by authorities. What settles the second is the applicant’s own immigration and legal history, including any prior refusal, overstay or removal, read from the records themselves rather than from recollection. Assemble a short factual dossier — citizenships, place of birth, every prior application and its outcome, and any adverse history — and give it to counsel before discussing money at all.
Terms should also be re-verified against the official source before any payment is made.
