Form I-129 fees from the current G-1055 schedule, which include a reduced rate for small employers on some fees, a fraud-prevention fee, optional premium processing, professional preparation of the specialized-knowledge evidence and certified translation of French manuals and records.
A small employer pays less in fees and the same in evidence
Recent USCIS fee rules provide small-employer rates for petitioners with 25 or fewer full-time-equivalent employees on parts of the I-129 fee structure, so the creamery should confirm its category and the current charges on the G-1055 schedule. The fraud-prevention fee applies regardless of size. Premium processing is available for L petitions and accelerates the decision without changing its quality.
For a Canadian citizen presenting at a port of entry, CBP charges its own fee. The substantive cost is professional work converting manuals, revision logs and batch records into an explanation that a non-cheesemaker can follow, and certified translation of the French pages actually relied on; select those pages before ordering translation. Gather the acquisition documents from the transaction record and budget separately for any retrieval or review they require.
Travel, housing and the spouse's job search are personal and business costs outside the immigration budget.
