They belong to the corporate framework under its actual terms, not automatically to every individual application.
Identify the arrangement before totaling charges
Corporate-sponsored employee gifts are US$2 million; separate 1% annual and 5% transfer conditions apply, including new vetting. Do not imply a paid transfer charge creates unrestricted reuse or approval.
The published description has referred to a nonrefundable processing fee per person and a gift to the U.S. government, stated at different levels for individual and corporate arrangements, with additional per-person amounts for eligible family members. The official program description sets a processing fee and a gift amount for the principal and separate amounts for each accompanying spouse and child, and describes a distinct corporate track with its own figures. The Gold Card processing fee is expressly nonrefundable, and its gift creates no asset; EB-5 capital is invested at risk in an enterprise, with any repayment depending on the offering terms and project performance. 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. Where a framework is recent and its procedures are still settling, taking the time to read the official terms and obtain independent advice costs nothing of value.
