I want to apply for the EB-5 visa with my family. I would be the principal of the application, and my husband and his children would be my dependents. However, I did not adopt his children. Would this be a problem on the application since they are not mine?

If you married the spouse before the children were 18, they are your stepchildren and will qualify along with your wife as your dependents (derivatives on your I-526).
