For a principal and a joining spouse: US$15,000 plus US$1,000,000 each, so US$2,030,000 in programme amounts. Other government visa, medical and professional costs are additional. Only the US$15,000 processing fee is explicitly described as nonrefundable, so do not assume the same treatment for every other payment.
Sizing the distribution against a real cost picture
A distribution planned to the programme figure alone can fall short once tax on the distribution and the additional government and professional costs are counted. Those additional totals are not published as a single number, but immigration counsel, translators and medical providers can usually give written quotes in advance. Ask a tax specialist what actually reaches the applicant net, rather than deducting an assumed percentage.
The principal gift is US$1 million individually or US$2 million corporately, after vetting when instructed. A payment to the U.S. government and a capital investment in a business are different transactions that a household budget can make look alike. Do not assume a service invoice pays those amounts or guarantees that every official contact field has been updated. Terms and amounts should be re-verified officially on the day, before any transfer is authorized.
A medical appointment connected to immigration does not itself purchase a private health policy or arrange continuing treatment.
