Capital resources do not replace the actual duties test or individual foreign employment.
Assess the person as well as the group
A well-funded enterprise may still propose a role that is not primarily managerial or executive.
Build one schedule for premises, payroll capacity, equipment, insurance, and working capital; another for corporate records, translations, professional services, current government charges, and family filings; and a third for the shareholder’s personal contribution. For a new office, lease commitments, staffing costs, and operating capital may be relevant because they show whether the proposed operation can support the role within a year; they should be documented as actual obligations, not rounded estimates. Where the U.S. business is a new office, approval begins with a one-year limit and the plan must show sufficient premises, financial ability to remunerate the beneficiary and commence doing business, and capacity to support the managerial or executive role within one year. Separately list official government charges for the actual filing, record retrieval, translation, professional scopes, and family steps; verify current instructions without assuming a filing total.
