No universal billing or project-value threshold applies. The knowledge, employment and assignment conditions require evidence.
Use commercial value carefully
Do not invent a financial loss or replacement estimate to stand in for the actual specialized-knowledge account.
Government filing fees per the USCIS fee schedule, Form G-1055, depending on the forms and employer size, with optional faster processing at extra cost, plus professional fees and the internal hours needed to document the specialized knowledge and prepare the American position description. The petition's cost has three parts: government fees from the fee schedule, including the I-129 fee, the fraud prevention and detection fee, any asylum program fee applicable to the petitioner and optional premium processing; professional fees for drafting and reviewing; and evidence costs. Ask who can authenticate training, product history, comparative experience, and the proposed assignment; then budget legal review, secure document handling, corporate evidence, official charges, and family applications separately. An offsite placement adds a separate evidentiary issue, so the company should budget for a licensed U.S. immigration attorney to document both the specialized knowledge and the petitioner's continuing control rather than relying on a thin initial filing.
