The proposed work and actual immigration permission require individual assessment. A pending immigrant plan does not itself authorize employment.

Foreign customers or a Canadian company do not automatically settle the US work question. Do not assume unpaid management is exempt. Eligible children generally must be unmarried and under 21; assess any applicable CSPA protection on the individual case facts.
Cross-chargeability exists in immigrant visa practice, but it is claimed on the record for a legally married spouse who is actually accompanying or following to join, and it is assessed by the deciding officer. Include relationship evidence, passports, birth dates, prior immigration history, and the current official amount or instruction that applies to each individual. Each joining spouse and each unmarried child under twenty-one must be considered in the initial application and carries an additional nonrefundable processing fee and a further gift amount, so deciding late who travels is not a neutral adjustment. An initial review captures the dated official terms, the correct individual or corporate pathway, every person's eligibility, the source of payment, and the later immigrant-category processing issue identified by the authorities. Before acting, confirm the recipient, amount, timing, and family member covered by the actual instruction; a payment decision and an immigration eligibility decision remain separate.
