No. The official framework describes vetting and ordinary immigrant eligibility under EB-1 or EB-2, plus admissibility and visa availability. Willingness and ability to pay open the process; they do not decide it.
The gift starts the process; the law finishes it
Hypothetical example: a Haldimand County contractor who has retired from energy-plant maintenance work assumes that making the gift and paying the processing fee amounts to approval. The official page describes a sequence: an initial application with a nonrefundable processing fee, vetting by the responsible agencies, the gift when instructed, and then permanent residence obtained through the EB-1 or EB-2 immigrant categories as determined by the administering authorities, subject to visa availability. Each of those stages can stop the file.
Vetting examines background, funds and prior immigration conduct. Admissibility rules on criminal history, misrepresentation and health apply as they do to any immigrant. Visa availability depends on the annual limits for the category and the applicant's chargeability.
A refused application does not return the processing fee, and the treatment of a gift already made on refusal must be checked on the official page at the time. Plan the application as an attempt with known conditions, not as a purchase with a receipt. The first review should produce a stage-by-stage file: the official terms in force that day, source-of-funds records, immigration history, and the specific EB-1 or EB-2 basis the agencies will assess.
Hypothetical example: a former commercial-refrigeration business owner can fund the payment but has a decade-old U.S. overstay in the travel record. The applicant should obtain the entry and departure history, identify any admissibility consequence before payment, and confirm how visa availability affects the relevant immigrant category.
When payment is instructed, it must be made by the applicant to the U.S. government through the official process; sending money to an adviser or a private business cannot substitute for that step.
