No. The published corporate principal gift is US$2 million per employee, in addition to US$15,000 processing per employee.
Reconcile the project budget by applicant
A coordinated application project does not create a published team discount. Keep payment instructions and confirmations assigned correctly, and budget eligible family additions separately rather than dividing a single principal gift across the team.
Corporate arrangements carry published 1% annual maintenance and 5% transfer terms with new background review and actual programme conditions. The gift is not an investment, is not placed at risk in an enterprise, does not create jobs and should not be expected back; the processing fee is a charge for handling the application. The Gold Card gift is spent and never returns; EB-5 capital is invested at risk and may be returned if the project succeeds. Only completed vetting produces instructions for an individual applicant to make the US$1 million government gift. The Gold Card framework proceeds through EB-1 or EB-2 classification and is not EB-5, so the gift creates neither project equity nor a return expectation. The corporate track, with its US$2 million gift and continuing charges, applies only where an employer sponsors, which a retiree does not have.
