Derivative eligibility depends on the actual relationship and individual conditions, not who helped fund the investment. A spouse or unmarried child under 21 may qualify, subject to any applicable CSPA calculation.
Keep financing roles separate from immigration roles
A relative may be a donor, lender or intended derivative, but one role does not establish another. Eligible derivatives do not each need a separate principal investment merely to accompany. Use the actual birth, marital and case dates; payment does not freeze age. Immigrant derivatives enter with or after the principal.
Approval brings two years of conditional permanent residence for the investor, the spouse and unmarried children under twenty-one, and the condition is removed only on evidence that the capital remained invested and the jobs were created and sustained. The first review should produce a derivative chart keeping investor rights, household relationships, and separate admissibility visible.; each conclusion should point to the record that settles it. A family member with a pending case can be affected by an age change or a marriage before the case concludes; someone already granted permanent residence is not automatically stripped of it because of a birthday or a wedding.
