No. Review the actual relationships, ages and official family terms individually. 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.
Separate advertising from status
A commercial description does not establish who qualifies or what permission they hold. Keep each person’s documents and intended inclusion clear.
The programme recommends including family initially, but avoid treating that recommendation as proof that later changes are either impossible or automatically approved. Write down the household's facts: citizenship of each adult, current employment and business interests, each child's age, what assets exist and what deadline is driving the discussion. 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. Successful vetting must occur before the government requests the principal’s US$1 million contribution; included eligible relatives carry the published additional gift and processing obligations. The question is whether a legally valid marriage exists, including a common-law marriage recognized under the applicable law, rather than whether the household informally uses spouse terminology.
