No. Investment capital is separate from project or administrative charges, government filing fees, legal work, document preparation, and later immigration stages. Review the actual agreements and current fee schedules before committing to anything.
Trace what each specific payment is actually for
Ask what a given payment covers, whether it is refundable, and what happens to it if the project or the immigration case itself changes. Keep family-related expenses and independent financial due diligence visible as separate items. An advertised package price can omit material commitments, and a quoted projected return does not describe the household's total financial exposure — get separate commercial and tax advice as appropriate.
Start with required capital of US$1,050,000. The amount is US$800,000 in a rural or high-unemployment targeted employment area or an infrastructure project; list every other commitment separately. Separate administration or project charges, due diligence, legal and tax work, translations, government filings, travel, family stages, and later removal-of-conditions work. Confirm current official fees without borrowed figures. Trace which payments are refundable and which capital remains at risk. The common mistake is comparing offerings by one advertised total while overlooking contractual expenses and assuming immigration review substitutes for commercial analysis.
Hypothetical example: a Windsor dental-laboratory owner compares two regional-center offerings, one with a lower administration charge but complicated currency-transfer and document demands. Because a regional center is involved, she budgets preparation of Form I-526E and independently reviews job-creation materials. Her spreadsheet distinguishes investment from issuer fees, source-of-funds work, dependent documentation, and future I-829 preparation. She declines to treat a projected distribution as guaranteed or subtract it from today's household exposure.
