No. A private reimbursement agreement does not change the programme’s nonrefundable US$15,000 per-person processing term. Identify who actually bears the expense under the employer agreement.
Separate government treatment from the private promise
The employer may agree to pay or reimburse an amount without altering the government’s terms. Read the actual commitment and official instructions. Do not assume an employment change creates a refund or converts the gift into repayable investment capital.
On the published terms that means three processing fees of fifteen thousand United States dollars each, forty-five thousand in total and none of it refundable, followed after vetting by three gifts of one million each, three million in total. Prepare a staged budget that separates the non-refundable processing fee, the published gift payment, any spouse or child amount, professional assistance, travel, and ordinary settlement costs. After successful vetting, current terms request a US$2 million gift for a corporate-sponsored principal; the corresponding individual-principal gift is US$1 million, and eligible included relatives have separate published amounts. Beyond the per-employee processing fee and gift, the corporate programme describes an annual maintenance charge and a transfer fee, which recur or arise on events and therefore belong in a multi-year budget.
