Track official charges and professional work explicitly alongside, but separately from, operating and household expenses. Clarify the actual review scope.
Avoid using spending to imply eligibility
A larger plan-preparation or startup budget does not establish the qualifying role. Ask what evidence is needed and whether revisions are included. Business forecasts and immigration conclusions should remain distinct.
The government fees appear in the USCIS fee schedule and include the petition itself and optional premium processing where speed matters. Ask whether the estimate covers employment evidence, company structure and actual duties. Ask whether the scope includes examining a function-manager proposal and identifying evidence gaps. If the plan changes after preparation or filing, give the revised facts to the professional handling the matter. Do not assume that a smaller budget proves eligibility, or that temporary work can be supported only by the transferee personally performing all delivery. Keep commercial budgets separate from current government filing charges and professional-service scope. Financial authority can support the explanation, but the actual duties and applicable managerial definition remain decisive. Committee stipends belong in that budget only where genuinely incurred; they do not establish that the transferee mainly manages or executes.
