What expenses remain outside the invested capital?

Project charges, government fees, legal work, document preparation and later immigration stages may involve separate costs. Review the particular proposal rather than relying only on the minimum investment figure.

Read the terms for each payment

Ask what the charge covers, when it becomes payable and what refund conditions apply. Include family steps and independent diligence. A projected business distribution or investment return should not be assumed available to pay future expenses unless the underlying circumstances support that assumption.

Chiefly professional time and document retrieval: certified translations, archived bank statements, accountants' letters, valuations and additional legal hours spent reconciling records across jurisdictions. Government filing fees themselves follow the standard EB-5 petition and adjustment or consular processing structure under the current USCIS fee schedule, and those fees are the same regardless of which capital amount applies. The professional work is substantial: source-of-funds documentation for a family with decades of agricultural history is a long engagement, and the later stage requires evidence that the investment was sustained and the jobs created.
