Treat it only as a starting point and confirm the actual current fee and gift amounts from the official source before finalizing any budget or making a financial commitment.
Budget from verified figures only
Request written confirmation of the current terms and compare them against any informally repeated figure before finalizing a household budget, since the difference between an outdated and a current figure can be substantial.
Separate the current official charges: the individual gift, the nonrefundable DHS processing fee, possible State Department visa and medical-examination fees, and the additional gift and processing fee for each included family member. No; identify the official arrangement actually proposed and verify its current charges rather than mixing individual and corporate descriptions. Private refund terms govern their actual agreement and should not be described as a government promise to return processing charges or gifts. The official individual gift is US$1 million; for an employee sponsored under the corporate terms discussed here, preserve the separate US$2 million principal amount already identified, along with any currently published maintenance or transfer charges.
