Yes. Certain immediate family members can be included in the principal investor’s EB-5 case as derivative beneficiaries. This generally includes the investor’s spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21.
If the EB-5 case is approved and all immigration requirements are met, eligible family members may receive conditional permanent resident status together with the principal investor. Each family member must still complete the required immigration processing and remain eligible for permanent residence.
Parents, siblings, adult children, and other relatives are not automatically included in the investor’s EB-5 petition. They would need to qualify for U.S. immigration status through a separate immigration category.
Because a child’s age can affect eligibility, families with children approaching age 21 should discuss timing and Child Status Protection Act considerations with an experienced immigration attorney as early as possible.
