No. The processing fee starts the official process and, after successful vetting, the qualifying gift is treated as evidence for specified EB-1 or EB-2 grounds. DHS and State still determine whether the applicant is eligible for lawful permanent residence, admissible, and has a visa available.
The categories still have to be met on the record
Read the official page as a description of a process rather than a purchase. An applicant pays the nonrefundable processing fee, submits Form I-140G and supporting documents through the USCIS portal, is vetted, and after successful vetting makes the gift to the U.S. government.
The September 19, 2025 Executive Order directs DHS and State to treat that gift as evidence of eligibility under EB-1 extraordinary ability and as evidence of exceptional business ability, national benefit and a national-interest waiver under EB-2. The gift does not itself guarantee residence: the applicant must still be eligible for lawful permanent resident status, be admissible, and have a visa available. Because the terms are set by the program, verify the current official page before anything is paid, and treat any promise of guaranteed residence from an intermediary as inconsistent with the official description.
Begin by distinguishing the official payment sequence from the later EB category analysis and producing a record list for each. Hypothetical example: a paleobotany researcher has substantial savings but only a preliminary offer from a university museum. The research record and the specific EB pathway, not wealth, settle whether a qualifying immigrant case exists.
Obtain an assessment of that record before payment, then recheck the official instructions for the applicant’s own gift payment.
