No. The program sets payment amounts, not a net worth test, and paying them does not by itself establish eligibility. An applicant must still qualify for lawful permanent residence through an EB-1 or EB-2 determination, be admissible, and have a visa available. Illiquid wealth neither helps nor substitutes for those separate requirements.
Test eligibility before selling anything
Order matters when assets take months to convert. Confirm with counsel whether the eligibility, admissibility, and visa availability picture looks workable before a property sale or company distribution is set in motion. The US$15,000 processing fee is nonrefundable, so it is spent even if a later step reveals a problem.
Nothing here waives inadmissibility or grants a shortcut around the underlying immigrant category, and no payment changes that analysis. It is worth separating three things that are easily merged in conversation. The payments are a condition of this route; the underlying immigrant category is a separate eligibility question; and admissibility is a third question again, decided on its own facts.
A household with substantial assets can satisfy the first and fail either of the others. A first review would therefore begin with the category, asking what basis an EB-1 or EB-2 determination would rest on and what evidence exists for it today, and only then turn to which assets could be converted and over what period. Reversing that order risks paying a nonrefundable fee to discover a problem that was visible from the start.
