Revenue, cash availability and obligations are different financial facts.
Use the actual operating budget
Identify cash timing and business commitments separately from government and professional charges. A large sales figure does not guarantee either funding capacity or immigration approval.
The petition fee for Form I-129, the fraud-prevention fee, any asylum-program fee, and optional premium processing, all as listed on Form G-1055, plus professional fees and the subsidiary’s U.S. salary obligations. The petitioning employer, not the transferee, carries the cost of the petition, and the budget divides into charges nobody can negotiate and charges that are entirely a matter of choice. An unsigned estimate or rounded budget line shows an intention to spend, not that bookkeeping, fulfillment, marketing, or customer support will be available. For a new office, the operating budget has evidentiary value because it helps show how the organization expects to support a managerial or executive role at the end of the initial year. Confirm current petition amounts on the USCIS fee schedule, then budget separately for the corporate evidence the petition demands, which for a small or newly acquired U.S. entity is often the largest and least anticipated expense.
