Do not present the gift as a recoverable investment or promised refund. It is distinct from EB-5 capital and private family arrangements. 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 corporately. Family and continuing corporate obligations are additional.
Read the transaction correctly
A contribution from a relative does not change the government gift’s purpose.
The corporate route carries a 1% annual maintenance obligation, and 5% where the transfer mechanism is used — neither is part of the ordinary initial fee, so read them as continuing terms in the employer's arrangement rather than as your closing cost. After successful vetting, current terms request a US$2 million gift for a corporate-sponsored principal; the corresponding individual-principal gift is US$1 million, and eligible included relatives have separate published amounts. Add any applicable professional, document, medical and State Department costs separately, and re-verify the official amounts, payment sequence and refund terms immediately before any transfer.
