The published description has referred to a nonrefundable processing fee per person and a gift to the U.S. government, stated at different levels for individual and corporate arrangements. Treat every figure as requiring fresh verification.
Figures are current only on the day you read them
Hypothetical example: Amounts described in official material have included a per-person processing fee and a gift, with a higher stated level where a corporate arrangement is used and additional per-person amounts for a qualifying spouse and eligible children. Reproducing those numbers here would be less useful than the instruction to check them, because the framework has already been revised once and the household's exposure is real money.
The more durable planning points are structural: the processing fee has been described as nonrefundable, the gift is not recoverable capital, and neither payment purchases an outcome. A Selwyn household should therefore treat the total as a committed cost rather than as a balance sheet entry, and should confirm both the figures and the refund position from the official source on the day a decision is made.
