A spouse and unmarried children under 21 may qualify as derivatives, but each still needs the applicable process and individual eligibility assessed. The petition notice is not automatically each relative’s admission or adjustment.
Track family records separately
A shared household plan does not make all personal dates identical.
Whichever route is chosen, the sequence runs from investor petition to an immigrant visa abroad or eligible adjustment, subject to visa availability, then conditional residence and a later petition to remove conditions, ordinarily filed in the ninety days before the second anniversary. Birth certificates showing place of birth for every family member, current passports, marriage and any divorce records, and evidence of prior immigration filings that might already carry a priority date. Ask counsel to assess CSPA timing using the actual petition and visa-availability dates rather than a preferred school transition date, and keep a contingency plan for a delay, since neither an investment nor a filed petition freezes a child's qualifying age by itself. As conditional residents they may work for any employer, so the spouse can manage the hauling company's office or drive, but the statute excludes the investor's spouse and children from the count of qualifying employees, so their positions add nothing to the ten.
