Do not infer a new government payment from a private representation change. Follow the official terms and instructions for the actual case.
Separate professional and programme charges
Review new professional scope and any private fees independently. Existing receipts should be reconciled rather than assumed lost, transferable or duplicated without evidence.
The official material describes a nonrefundable processing fee of fifteen thousand United States dollars per person, payable to begin the process, and then, after successful vetting, a gift made by the applicant to the U.S. government. Write both routes out as cash flows for the actual household: every person who would immigrate, the fees and gift each triggers, professional and medical costs, and the value of money that will never come back against capital that might. For a corporate case, the official terms also state a 1% yearly maintenance charge and a 5% transfer charge that includes fresh DHS vetting; using the prior corporate gift for a replacement employee does not approve that employee. The amounts published at the time of writing distinguish an individual gift from a larger corporate-sponsored gift, and the processing fee is separate; those figures and the underlying category to which the program attaches should be re-verified on the official page before any money moves. Corporate terms also describe 1% annual maintenance and a 5% transfer charge with a new background check, subject to actual governing conditions, not an automatic reuse right.
