No. Check the actual scope of the request and each intended applicant’s record. Initial eligible family inclusion and individual obligations remain relevant. 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 combined folder or payment does not prove every required response is complete. Each eligible joining relative has separate published amounts and individual eligibility.
The programme recommends including family initially, but avoid treating that recommendation as proof that later changes are either impossible or automatically approved. Children's ages matter because the eventual immigrant classification treats unmarried children under 21 as derivatives, with Child Status Protection Act rules applying to the immigrant stage. Cross-chargeability is claimed and assessed on the record for a legally married spouse accompanying or following to join; it is not switched on by the marriage certificate alone. Set the arithmetic out per person rather than per hire, since family members are counted separately and an employer budgeting one figure will understate the cost of a married candidate with children. Have the legally relevant age and any applicable CSPA protection assessed on the case facts; if derivative eligibility is unavailable, examine an independent route without assuming its outcome.
