Training expenditure does not itself establish qualifying specialized knowledge.

The I-129 base fee, any additional statutory fees for L petitions and the optional premium-processing fee are the same whether the transferee works at the U.S. affiliate's own premises or at a customer's facility, and current amounts should be read from the G-1055. The larger cost is internal: the quality manager's time writing the system description, pulling training and audit records, and coordinating with the affiliate on its implementation letter. Confirm current government charges through the official fee schedule, then identify translation, corporate-record, travel-history, knowledge-documentation, and professional-review costs. Procedure registers, project files and internal training records cost nothing to retrieve and often answer the question a new course was expected to answer. Support the account with genuine training records or project examples, and let the reviewing professional assess it against the applicable legal standard.
