No. The investment remains subject to the applicable risk and commercial terms. Immigration milestones do not themselves guarantee return of capital. As of September 7, 2026, the capital figures are US$1,050,000 or US$800,000 for qualifying targeted employment area or infrastructure projects. Statutory adjustments begin January 1, 2027; confirm the amount applicable to the filing.
Separate charges and investment obligations
Identify qualifying capital and actual fees independently. A planned trip or status event does not convert every payment into refundable funds.
Government filing fees at the amounts published in the USCIS fee schedule, Form G-1055, and professional costs that are substantial in a direct investment: independent legal advice, source-of-funds preparation, business valuation, and an economist's or accountant's work on the job-creation plan. Project-dependent charges include the sponsor's administrative fee and any subscription or escrow costs, whose amounts and refund terms must be read from the offering documents rather than supplied as a generic statistic. Beyond the capital itself, budget separately for the costs that sit around it: administrative fees charged by a project, legal fees for the petition and for the funds-tracing work, translation of foreign-language records, and later the cost of the petition to remove conditions.
