For one employee the corporate figures are US$15,000 in non-refundable DHS processing plus a US$2 million qualifying gift when instructed — US$2.015 million. Separately, a 1% annual maintenance charge applies, and 5% where the transfer mechanism is used. Other government, medical and professional costs are additional.
Which amounts are fixed, and which are not
Only the US$15,000 is described as non-refundable; do not assume the same of every other charge, and do not assume any wider refund rule beyond that. Nor is everything paid in one moment: the fee comes at application, the gift only when instructed after successful vetting. Medical, visa and professional costs sit outside these figures, and a written quote for professional work can usually be obtained.
Build a dated review file around the current official fee notice, required gift payment instruction, payer records, currency and transfer evidence, and any separate professional costs. A sound first review produces an itemized budget with a category for amounts known from official material and a separate category for expenses that will be instructed later. Confirm the principal type and every eligible family member before relying on a stated total, because the required amounts and processing charges can differ by case.
