Sponsorship does not create eligibility on its own. The applicant must pass the vetting the program describes, must be classifiable in one of the existing employment-based categories the framework uses, and must be admissible. The corporate route changes who pays and how much, not who qualifies.
Payment and eligibility are two different gates
The framework sets out a sequence in which a processing fee is paid, vetting is carried out, and a gift is then made to the U.S. government. Around that sequence the ordinary requirements of United States immigration law continue to apply.
Ferruccio would still have to be a person who can be classified within the employment-based preference categories the program uses, and he would still be subject to the admissibility rules that apply to everyone, covering matters such as criminal history, prior immigration violations and misrepresentation. If any of those is an issue in his history, it needs to be examined before a fee is paid rather than after. It is also worth confirming what a corporate sponsorship means where the company and the applicant are effectively the same interest, because the published terms contemplate a company sponsoring an employee.
