Each included person’s identity information and eligibility need their own accurate record.
Review the household person by person
Each eligible included spouse or unmarried child under 21 adds US$1 million plus US$15,000 nonrefundable processing, including corporate cases; review CSPA individually. The principal’s document change does not itself establish that every family record has been updated.
Create a separate identity and eligibility worksheet for the principal, spouse, and every unmarried child under 21, including passport history, birth information, prior immigration events, and current citizenship. Canadian citizenship must not be confused with Canadian permanent residence. Each person’s inclusion and age issues need individual review; changing the principal’s passport does not update another record. Current Gold Card steps begin online with the nonrefundable US$15,000 DHS processing fee, followed when prompted by USCIS Form I-140G under an EB-1 or EB-2 classification. After vetting, the programme seeks a US$1 million gift made to the United States. That payment is distinct from EB-5, and official instructions should be rechecked before it is sent.
Hypothetical example: A paper-products executive from Saint-David-de-Falardeau renews his passport while his spouse retains hers and their twenty-year-old daughter awaits a replacement. The family should not copy his new number across all three records. They should reconcile each person’s documents and disclosures, review the daughter’s age separately, and respond to programme prompts person by person without assuming one identity update completes the household’s filings.
