The published per-person charges do not become a household discount based on shared citizenship.
Budget for the eligible people included
Each included spouse or child adds US$1 million and US$15,000 nonrefundable processing, including corporate cases. Keep already-paid processing separate from later instructed gifts to avoid double-counting. The nonrefundable processing charge is US$15,000 per person; after vetting when instructed, the principal gift is US$1 million individually or US$2 million corporately. Family additions and continuing corporate conditions are separate.
Write both routes out as cash flows for the actual household: every person who would immigrate, the fees and gift each triggers, professional and medical costs, and the value of money that will never come back against capital that might. The Gold Card processing fee is expressly nonrefundable, and its gift creates no asset; EB-5 capital is invested at risk in an enterprise, with any repayment depending on the offering terms and project performance. Add to the headline amount the professional fees for preparing an application, the cost of any documents and translations, and the ordinary costs of relocating a household, which are frequently larger than people expect. Budget housing, ordinary living costs and any additional official charges separately rather than assuming the gift will finance later personal expenses.
