Future training cannot be presented as knowledge already acquired. Explain the employee’s actual experience and assess the proposed assignment on its genuine evidence.
Separate preparation expense from missing experience
A course may have a business purpose, but its price does not establish qualifying foreign employment or organizational expertise. If the plan depends on learning something not yet known, state that clearly. Keep government and professional charges separate from ordinary staff-development spending.
Recent USCIS fee rules provide small-employer rates for petitioners with 25 or fewer full-time-equivalent employees on parts of the I-129 fee structure, so the creamery should confirm its category and the current charges on the G-1055 schedule. Confirm the fourteen months are clean, assemble the knowledge record, obtain the corporate documents linking the Canadian company and the U.S. affiliate, then file Form I-129 with the fee-schedule amounts; premium processing is available. The useful expenditure is internal: the time of the quality and operations staff who compile investigation logs, the IT staff who can document the system integration, and the human-resources staff who can produce the training matrix and payroll history.
