Ask for an itemized record showing the recipient, purpose, amount and applicable instruction for each entry.
Match the schedule with the actual official stage
Keep the official notice and the private service agreement distinguishable. A private schedule should not be treated as government confirmation that vetting has succeeded or that the gift has been requested.
Obtain an itemized schedule naming the payee, amount, purpose, due event, refund rule, and source of the instruction for every line. Match it against saved copies of the official application confirmation, payment receipt, USCIS email, Form I-140G request, and later vetting notice. The program begins online with a US$15,000 nonrefundable DHS processing fee; once that payment settles, USCIS prompts the “Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program,” Form I-140G. Only successful vetting triggers a request to give US$1 million to the United States. That gift is distinct from EB-5 capital, and the case proceeds through EB-1 or EB-2 classification. A private instalment calendar cannot establish that any government milestone occurred. Re-check official directions before releasing funds, since instructions can change.
Hypothetical example: A Saint-Ambroise precision-parts manufacturer is asked to approve one schedule combining advisory work, processing, and a future gift. Its owner requests separate recipients and trigger notices, then compares each entry with the portal record. A line marked “post-vetting contribution” remains unpaid until an authentic official request arrives. The company preserves the private contract without mistaking it for USCIS confirmation of I-140G progress.
