A nonrefundable US$15,000 processing fee per person, and after successful vetting a principal gift of US$1 million for an individual, with each eligible joining spouse or unmarried child under twenty-one adding US$15,000 and US$1 million. Corporate sponsorship is described at US$2 million per employee. Re-verify officially before paying.
Nonrefundable is the word that changes the decision
Set out for a household of four, the published structure produces a figure very different from the one most people carry away from a conversation, and none of it is recoverable. The processing fee is nonrefundable whatever the outcome of vetting, which means a family can spend it and receive nothing. The gift is a gift, so there is no capital to return, no yield and no asset.
That is the honest comparison with an investment route, where money is at risk in a business but is at least placed rather than given. Because the amounts are large and the framework is new, the figures quoted here should be checked against the current official page before any transfer, and any request for a deposit, reservation or instalment should be verified against that page first. For a household weighing this against other uses of the same money, the honest framing is that the payment buys a place in a process rather than an outcome.
