The government gift and private charges are different payments. Do not combine them as though professional fees satisfy the gift.
Keep amounts and recipients clear
Follow actual official instructions and retain separate service records. A paid adviser cannot guarantee the immigration result.
The official processing fee is described as nonrefundable, so confirm the complete current terms for the applicable individual or corporate proposal and ask about additional charges and the full family total. Before considering a transfer, verify the official government domain, the identity of the official recipient, any application reference requirement, and the current refund or reversal terms if stated. In EB-5 the money is capital invested in a new commercial enterprise, placed at risk, required to create at least ten qualifying full-time jobs, and capable in principle of being returned to the investor after conditions are removed. 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. The published initial processing fee is nonrefundable, while the gift is requested after successful vetting, and different charges carry different terms, so the nonrefundability of one establishes nothing about another.
