Track travel commitments separately and clarify whether reviewing the proposed visitor activities is included in the professional scope. Identify official charges for the actual process.
Review before nonrefundable commitments
Ask which activities and documents still need assessment before booking. Travel spending does not strengthen L eligibility or guarantee entry. A quote for an L petition may not address a separate preliminary visit unless that scope is agreed.
Government charges are set out in the USCIS fee schedule, Form G-1055, and include the petition fee, applicable surcharges and optional premium processing. Distinguish business recruitment costs from filing charges, professional preparation and document work. Separate personal employment evidence, updated organizational records and current government charges. A budget can provide context, but the applicant’s actual authority and primarily managerial duties must be explained. Contract drafting, corporate delegations and immigration filings serve different purposes. The petitioner is the U.S. dealership, and the government charges attach to its filing. Ask whether the scope includes comparing forecasts with actual operations and addressing changed duties. Use the operating plan to separate shared expenses from resources assigned to each proposed role.
