No. Recruitment and immigration review serve different purposes. Clarify the actual professional scope and current official charges.
Identify what each service provides
A placement fee does not establish occupational fit, citizenship or admissibility. Ask which records remain needed for the actual application or admission process.
Write a budget with separate lines for government processing or inspection fees, credential evaluation, licences, translations, courier costs, travel, and any professional scope agreed in writing. Costs may include a credential evaluation service, additional coursework or licensing fees if a bridging step is pursued, and legal review time comparing the applicant's background against the profession's requirement. A port-of-entry TN application carries a modest admission charge, while an employer's Form I-129 petition carries USCIS filing fees set out in the G-1055 fee schedule; check the current figures rather than relying on a colleague's memory from a previous year. Build separate cost columns for obtaining academic evidence, any foreign-credential evaluation, a required professional licence, document delivery, advice and the chosen government process.
