No. The official FAQ keeps eligibility for permanent residence, admissibility and EB-1 or EB-2 visa availability as separate conditions; the gift is part of the described process, not a substitute for them.
Confirm the actual basis for the specific case
Review the official instructions and the applicant's own circumstances individually rather than relying on promotional descriptions. Ask which classification applies and what facts remain unresolved, since the framework does not bypass background review or admissibility requirements simply because payment is available.
Start with the current official program terms and write down which facts the applicant must supply, which screening stage remains, and which eligibility pathway is actually described. Do not translate a headline into an approval promise. Hypothetical example: a documentary-film editor assumes an online expression of interest establishes a right to immigrate. The applicant should decide whether to proceed only after confirming the official requirements and the applicable permanent-residence category. Gold Card is not a conventional visa: the required payment is made by the applicant to the U.S. government, and later immigration processing remains subject to the stated rules.
Keep the official source that supports each conclusion, because the application materials control over a private summary.
