Should an all-in quote be used as the qualifying capital figure?

Sources checked:

THE DIRECT ANSWER

An all-in quote combines items that can have different immigration and commercial treatment. Reconcile it to an actual capital entry before using its total in the case.

Check the arithmetic against legal payment purposes

Request a line-item quotation and match each item to an agreement or official charge. Identify any duplicate entry, currency conversion or expense included inside another package, preserving the original records rather than adjusting figures to reach a desired result. Currently the investment threshold is US$1,050,000, or US$800,000 for a qualifying targeted employment area or infrastructure project; petition-date statutory adjustments start January 1, 2027. Compare the supported capital amount with that threshold only after separating other expenses. A balanced invoice establishes arithmetic, not that every line is qualifying capital or that the investor meets the other requirements.

Filing fees at more than one stage, published in the USCIS fee schedule; administrative or subscription fees where a pooled project is used; legal fees weighted toward the source-of-funds work; and professional costs for accountants, translators and diligence. A regional centre administrative fee, legal fees for a document-heavy petition, translations and document retrieval, government charges at each stage taken from the current schedule, and the later filing to remove conditions.
