No universal project-value figure establishes L-1B. The case needs actual specialized knowledge, qualifying employment and organizations, and the proposed work arrangement.
Use commercial figures only as supported context
Avoid inventing losses or replacement costs to substitute for the knowledge explanation. Business urgency and legal qualification remain distinct.
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. Add the affiliate's own set-up expenses where relevant, and add the cost of doing it twice if a request for evidence arrives because the first submission described a skilled employee rather than a specialized-knowledge position. Budget staff time, translation, technical explanation, professional review, and official charges as separate categories; confirm current government instructions rather than inserting a filing-fee figure. Budget the shared and individual portions separately, since the corporate evidence is prepared once while interviews, evidence gathering, and drafting a distinct knowledge account do not compress with numbers.
