Can I have multiple children included, even from different mothers/fathers?

The EB-5 program is intended for investors who wish to immigrate to the United States through a qualified investment and, at the same time, may include family members as dependents. Among these dependents, it is possible to include the spouse and unmarried children under 21 years old, as well as children from previous relationships or adopted children, provided they meet the established criteria.

Regarding the inclusion of multiple children, even from different mothers or fathers, the answer is affirmative, as long as each child is legally linked to the investor and meets the dependency conditions. What this means is that if the children have been legally recognized-whether by parentage, adoption, or in relation to the investor’s union with the spouse-they can be listed as dependents in your EB-5 application, regardless of having different family origins.

Each case, however, requires the submission of documents proving the parental or adoption relationship, in addition to satisfying the requirements that the children be unmarried and under 21 years old, except in cases of disability. It is important to remember that compliance with United States immigration law is fundamental to avoid potential complications in the process.

For this reason, it is always recommended to consult official sources and specialized professionals to ensure that all information and documents are in accordance with current regulations. This way, you avoid risks, scams, or incorrect information that could jeopardize your application.

Each situation may have peculiarities, so stay well informed and follow the correct procedures to ensure that all dependents are included properly and securely in your EB-5 process.
