Can the family list from an earlier plan be reused without checking ages?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

No. Identify the actual proposed spouse and unmarried children under 21 and assess each person’s eligibility. 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.

Review the household as it exists now

An older budget does not determine current derivative options or remove separate per-person requirements. Use present relationships and relevant records.

Create a separate record for each family member with citizenship, relationship, age, passport details, prior U.S. history, and intended timing. Prepare a person-by-person schedule listing identity, relationship, age, intended classification, required processing payment, and any applicable gift amount. Initial family inclusion is recommended, but later changes still need specific review rather than an assumption of automatic acceptance or impossibility. Applicants should be careful not to assume that being included as a derivative on one track automatically carries over to the other; each track's own rules for who qualifies as a family member need to be checked independently.
