The proposal also needs an honest account of the business resources supporting the actual role.
Separate operations from filing charges
Premises, payroll and other genuine operating requirements are not interchangeable with administrative costs. Avoid inventing a universal business-spending minimum for every transfer.
Costs include the I-129 filing fee, the fraud prevention and detection fee, any asylum program fee that applies to the petitioner, optional premium processing, and professional fees; check current amounts in the USCIS fee schedule (G-1055). Government filing charges, professional fees and dependant applications belong to the immigration budget; the lease, equipment, salaries and working capital belong to the expansion budget. Incorporation or registration charges, professional fees for corporate and tax advice, premises and banking set-up, accounting in a second jurisdiction, and the funding the plan says the operation needs. Estimate costs after identifying whether the matter is an initial petition, an extension, a change connected to a new office, or a family follow-on. Once filed, the petition waits in the USCIS queue unless the employer pays for premium processing, which produces a decision in a defined number of business days. Separate tuition from document preparation and current government charges; do not present payment as replacing the required employment history.
