The current official page states the gift amount and the processing fee. Because those terms may be revised, verify them on the official source immediately before any transfer.
Verify amounts at the moment of decision
There are two distinct financial elements in the published framework, a gift to the U.S. government and a processing fee, and they should never be described as a single price because they are different in nature and possibly in treatment. Confirm both from the official material at the time the decision is made. Beyond those, an applicant should budget for professional review of the terms, for any tax advice that a transfer of that size warrants on both sides of the border, and for the ordinary costs of relocation. Anyone comparing this framework with an investment category should compare total outlay and recoverability, not only the headline figure, because a gift and an investment are not equivalent expenditures.
Where a corporate arrangement is involved, its continuing obligations, meaning the annual maintenance percentage and the transfer terms with their fresh background check, belong on the same list, because they persist after the initial steps are complete.
