Distinguish an expected refund from money actually available for the proposed contribution. Review the governing conditions and current payment status.
Keep the budget from counting the same funds twice
Record any deduction, fee or outstanding obligation supported by the actual terms. A refund expectation does not establish that the chosen project has received qualifying capital, and this page promises no refund outcome.
Filing charges published in the official schedule, escrow and administrative fees where a project uses them, and professional costs for the source-of-funds work. Project administrative fees are commonly charged in addition to the investment and are not part of it. The fee structure has three government stages and one project stage. A regional centre project typically charges an administrative fee that is not part of the invested capital and is generally not returned. Create a running balance that marks transfers between the investor’s own accounts as movements of existing money and counts capital only when actually contributed under the investment documents. When a visa becomes available, each family member pays for adjustment of status or an immigrant visa, with medical examination and biometrics costs. Government fees are published in the USCIS fee schedule and change over time, so take current figures from that schedule rather than from a planning document.
