Under the published terms: three nonrefundable US$15,000 processing fees, and after successful vetting three US$1 million gifts, plus immigrant-visa charges and professional fees. Nothing is returned; the fee is nonrefundable and the gift is not an investment.
Every dollar is one-way
Add the numbers as the official page states them and verify them on the day: US$15,000 per person in processing fees, paid before vetting and not refunded if vetting fails, and US$1 million per person in gifts to the U.S. government after successful vetting, for a family of three a total of US$3,045,000 before any immigrant-visa fees, medical examinations, professional fees or translations. The gift is not returned in any circumstances and carries no economic interest, unlike EB-5 capital, which may be repaid when the project concludes.
There is no family rate in the published terms. Immigrant-visa or adjustment fees for the EB-1 or EB-2 case are additional and come from the State Department and USCIS schedules. The corporate track, with its US$2 million gift and continuing charges, applies only where an employer sponsors, which a retiree does not have.
If the numbers on the official page differ from these when read, the page governs.
