Separate government filing fees from company-side document preparation, legal fees, and any family-related filings. A new office's actual business startup budget is a distinct category and should not be presented as part of the immigration filing cost.
Confirm exactly what a quoted fee includes
Ask whether a professional fee covers the eligibility assessment, petition drafting, any expedited-processing request, and responses to a request for evidence, or only some of these. Identify document retrieval, translation, and corporate cleanup work that may fall outside that scope. Confirm the current official filing fee for this employer's specific petition rather than assuming it matches an amount quoted for a different company or an earlier year.
For a new office, lease commitments, staffing costs, and operating capital may be relevant because they show whether the proposed operation can support the role within a year; they should be documented as actual obligations, not rounded estimates. Where the U.S. business is a new office, approval begins with a one-year limit and the plan must show sufficient premises, financial ability to remunerate the beneficiary and commence doing business, and capacity to support the managerial or executive role within one year.
