No. Eligibility follows the real work and prescribed qualifications. Earlier preparation expenses cannot justify describing a materially changed position as the old job.
Budget for the actual revision
Identify which records remain accurate and which need genuine updates. Separate current government charges from professional and document expenses. Reusing a factual record may be sensible; reusing an inaccurate description is not.
Keep family-related steps and changeable travel costs visible as separate line items; no amount of preparation spending guarantees admission. Compare the passport and credential names, ask whether the issuing school can provide a legitimate record, determine whether a faithful translation or credential evaluation is actually needed, and reserve funds for any profession-specific licence evidence. The larger cost of the petition route is preparation: assembling the support letter, degree evaluation, organizational documents and any explanation of a staffing structure takes professional hours that the border route mostly avoids. A situation requiring a new employer-specific letter, a fresh border entry, or an extension request carries the associated government and preparation costs for that filing.
