The petitioning employer pays the Form I-129 filing fee and the other charges that apply to its filing, with premium processing optional, all at the amounts published in the USCIS fee schedule, Form G-1055. Legal work, corporate record retrieval and relocation are separate.
Budget for the evidence-gathering, because that is where this case is expensive
Government fees for a petition of this kind depend on the employer's size and on the processing option chosen, so consult Form G-1055 rather than a remembered figure. The larger spend for this group is professional and administrative. Someone has to reconstruct share registers and minute books that may not have been updated since the last accountant looked at them, and a corporate lawyer often does that work.
A U.S. immigration attorney should prepare the petition, because a split qualifying year and a freshly acquired business are two of the areas that most often draw a request for evidence. Add the cost of accelerating any hire the U.S.
structure depends on, since a manager with nobody to manage weakens the case. Relocation, family applications and health coverage follow separately.
