Not necessarily. Identify the actual intended eligible applicants and the official recommendation to include intended eligible family initially. Each eligible joining relative has additional stated amounts. Current official terms add a US$15,000 processing fee and US$1,000,000 gift for each eligible joining spouse or unmarried child under 21, including corporate cases; confirm individual eligibility and the operative instructions.

A household total does not establish a qualifying relationship or individual case completion.
Have the civil birth certificate, current passport, and evidence of marital status available for each child, with certified translations where the originals are not in English. The program includes a spouse and unmarried children under 21 on the principal's application; a common error is assuming disability or financial dependence expands that definition. A marriage, a birth, a child reaching an age threshold, or a separation each alters who may be included, and a calculation built around a fixed list will not answer the question when it arises. Where intended family members were identified at the outset, keep that list and check each notice against it, since a name absent from a notice is a question to raise rather than an omission to assume harmless.
