No. Budget from funds actually received, traceable, and available under current official requirements.
Use verified money and current figures
Budget only from money already received, cleared and available; an expected distribution cannot be spent, pledged or counted. Then split the budget into lines that do different work. Qualifying capital is the amount that goes into the new commercial enterprise and stays at risk there, and it must be lawfully obtained with a source and path traceable to its origin.
It is the only line that satisfies the statutory tier, and nothing else on the list reduces it. A regional center administrative or subscription fee is a cost of participating rather than part of that capital, and belongs on its own line. Professional costs form a third line: U.S.
immigration counsel, securities or corporate advice on the offering, an independent source-of-funds review, accountancy, certified translations, and any due diligence commissioned on the project. Government charges form a fourth, taken from the USCIS fee schedule, Form G-1055, as it stands on the day of filing rather than from an older quotation. Household relocation spending on travel, housing, schooling and moving belongs nowhere near the capital calculation.
Keeping the lines apart also protects the case, because an adjudicator reading one blended figure cannot see that the statutory amount was met. Two conditions sit outside every line on the sheet: the enterprise must still generate at least ten full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers, and the investor must still take a real management or policy-formulation role rather than pay someone to hold one.
No level of spending purchases an approval. Confirm current government charges and professional quotes before committing to a budget.
