No. A gift-based program obligation is distinct from purchasing a commercial investment asset. The September 7, 2026 official processing fee is US$15,000 per person and nonrefundable; the principal gift is US$1,000,000 individually or US$2,000,000 per corporate-sponsored employee. Family and continuing corporate obligations are additional.
Use the actual financial terms
Confirm current official amounts and refund conditions. Do not imply repayment or investment return that the official arrangement does not provide.
The discipline that prevents most difficulty here is simple: no number about this program is accepted from anyone other than the official source, and every number is checked again immediately before money moves. Obtain independent financial and tax advice as appropriate, since a gift should not be marketed as capital expected to produce a return, and neither route carries a guaranteed approval. Corporate arrangements also describe 1% annual maintenance and a 5% transfer fee including a new background check; additional visa-related or medical costs may apply. Program terms can change because the program is administratively implemented, so verify them on the day of any commitment, and take advice from a licensed adviser rather than from anyone earning a commission.
