The possibility of reusing a gift for another employee is not a guarantee of approval or an exemption from the applicable process.
Ask the employer to write down which amounts are already paid, which remain, and whether a prior US$2 million gift is being reused for you — that route involves new vetting, current transfer requirements and abandonment of status by the prior holder. Money leaves early here for a reason that has nothing to do with the program: document work is the part a family can start immediately, so it starts, and translations and courier charges accumulate before anyone has confirmed which documents the process actually asks for. A projected commercial return belongs in the first ledger and describes a business outcome that may or may not occur; it is not a return offered by the government, and no part of the payment made under the official process is presented as recoverable.
