No. The actual outcome depends on the required submissions, vetting, eligibility, admissibility, and visa availability. Promotional or general processing language is not an individual guarantee.
Keep commitments conditional on milestones that are actually confirmed
Follow the current official instructions and keep copies of communications and submitted records. Identify in advance what the household would change if additional information or a further step is required. Recheck the framework before acting, especially if the proposal or family circumstances change, and avoid fixing housing, employment, or school commitments around an assumed approval date.
Use milestones instead of predicted dates. First submit the online application and its US$15,000 nonrefundable DHS processing charge. Once payment settles, USCIS prompts the applicant to file Form I-140G, “Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program.” Record that prompt; vetting comes after the filing stage, and the government requests the US$1 million gift only when vetting is complete. EB-1 or EB-2 visa availability, eligibility, admissibility, and individual instructions affect what follows; EB-5 is not this program. The common error is scheduling relocation when payment clears, although settlement merely triggers the next required step.
Hypothetical example: a Windsor anesthesiologist hopes to coordinate a hospital resignation with a child's academic year. She builds decision points around receipt of the I-140G prompt, completion of requested submissions, vetting, any gift instruction, and later immigration stages, without assigning government completion dates. Her employment notice and housing plans remain reversible. If official directions change, she updates the sequence with counsel and re-verifies them before funds move rather than preserving a family calendar built from promotional wording.
