A private agreement does not change the official fee’s terms. Any employer reimbursement or repayment obligation is a separate contractual question. Current published amounts are US$15,000 nonrefundable processing per person, then a US$1 million individual principal or US$2 million corporate principal gift after successful vetting. Each eligible joining family member adds US$15,000 and US$1 million, including corporately.
Distinguish the government payment from a private recovery
Check the current official nonrefundable processing-fee terms and the applicable gift sequence. Separately read who agreed to bear costs and under what conditions. Use qualified advice for any dispute.
Do not infer a government refund from a company promise or assume a private repayment demand establishes what the program itself permits. Corporate terms describe 1% annual maintenance and a 5% transfer fee including a new DHS background check. Reuse of a prior corporate principal gift under the official process is not automatic approval of a replacement employee.
