No. The reduced amount depends on a qualifying targeted employment area or infrastructure basis under the applicable rules.
Verify the actual threshold
The general amount is US$1.05 million, with statutory adjustments beginning January 1, 2027. Confirm the rule for the filing and separate project fees from qualifying capital. Determine the applicable capital threshold by the petition filing date, rather than the date of a wire, invoice or later I-829 filing.
Government filing charges published in the USCIS fee schedule, project administration or subscription fees charged by the enterprise or regional center, and professional costs for source-of-funds preparation, which is usually the largest professional item. Review actual transaction charges, currency conversion and relevant tax obligations with qualified advisers, then account for project and immigration expenses separately. A sponsored investment commonly adds administrative charges to the capital, while a standalone enterprise carries acquisition, payroll and operating costs the investor funds directly. Liquidity terms then decide whether the promised amount is reachable: redemption windows, notice periods, priority of repayment, and whether distributions depend on the project's own cash. Avoid using the asset’s headline valuation after transaction costs have reduced available proceeds, and keep professional or official charges outside the capital total. Budget immigration charges and professional work separately; neither administrative spending nor the number of employees automatically establishes qualifying invested capital.
