The current official page states a nonrefundable $15,000 DHS processing fee and, after successful vetting, a $1 million individual gift, with possible additional State Department fees. Each included spouse or unmarried child under 21 currently requires another $15,000 fee and $1 million gift. The gift is not an EB-5 investment, and all amounts must be re-verified before payment.

The current individual framework starts with a nonrefundable $15,000 DHS processing fee. After successful vetting, the applicant is instructed to make a $1 million gift to the United States; it is not an investment and is not paid with an expectation of return. Small additional State Department charges may apply.
Under the current family terms, every included spouse or unmarried child under 21 requires a separate $15,000 processing fee and $1 million gift. Professional advice and any accounting work are separate private costs. Mrs.
Halvorsen should use the official government payment instructions, save a dated copy of the program terms and re-check every amount immediately before payment, because a promoter's quotation or verbal refund assurance does not govern.
