No. Separate the initial processing and gift amounts from family and continuing corporate conditions. 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.
Compare the full proposal rather than one payment
Confirm the current maintenance and transfer-related terms and their conditions. A government gift is not recoverable business capital, and a fee does not guarantee approval or reuse rights.
Brokerage commissions, settlement charges and currency conversion reduce what actually arrives, so budget from net proceeds rather than headline value. Before paying anything, verify the legal payee, amount, channel, timing, refund conditions, receipt procedure, and whether the payment is tied to an application step. Where an intermediary offers to handle the payment or introduces an account that does not appear on the official source, stop and verify before anything is transferred. The larger payment is a gift to the United States government made after successful vetting; it buys no equity, earns nothing, creates no job-creation credit and cannot be recovered. Budget separately for government charges, document preparation, travel, medical requirements if applicable, and independent professional advice.
