No. The official FAQ keeps eligibility for permanent residence, admissibility, and EB-1 or EB-2 visa availability as conditions. The gift is part of the process it describes, not a universal substitute for those legal requirements.
Identify the actual basis for the proposed case
Bring the official instructions and this applicant's own circumstances to an individualized review. Distinguish promotional descriptions from the evidence the actual filing process requires. Ask which classification applies and what facts remain unresolved. Do not assume the framework grants citizenship outright or bypasses background review simply because the proposed financial commitment is available.
Test legal classification before treating ability to pay as eligibility. The sequence begins with the online application and a US$15,000 nonrefundable DHS processing fee. After payment settles, USCIS prompts Form I-140G, the Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program; vetting follows, and the US$1 million gift to the United States is requested only after vetting. The route operates through EB-1 or EB-2 classification, never EB-5. Gather facts supporting the applicable classification, identity and admissibility records, and visa-availability questions. The common mistake is assuming the gift replaces an immigrant-category showing.
Hypothetical example: a Windsor medical-device software founder can fund the gift but has not identified whether her record supports EB-1 or EB-2. She organizes company evidence, professional achievements, identity history, and family details for individualized review before beginning. Her cash forecast reserves the possible gift without sending it early. She follows the official prompt order and rejects a promoter's suggestion that a large transfer alone can bypass the I-140G petition, vetting, or underlying classification analysis.
