Beyond the nonrefundable US$15,000 fee and the US$1 million gift for each participant, expect translation, accounting, and legal work proportionate to the number of jurisdictions involved. Visa and medical costs apply separately. The government processing fee is expressly nonrefundable; other charges and refund rights depend on the applicable official terms or professional engagement. Scope each item separately.
Buy the work in stages
Commission a first review of the existing records, then decide what further work the findings justify. Translating every historical statement before anyone has read the file usually spends money on material nobody needs. Ask each professional to quote a defined stage with a written output, and agree what triggers the next stage.
Keep program amounts and professional fees in separate lines of the budget so the total commitment stays visible. Add one further staging decision: buy the eligibility view before the translation programme. Translating a decade of records across several languages is among the largest costs in a file of this kind, and much of it is wasted if the substantive assessment concludes the plan should take a different shape.
A short written view on which category the record could support, obtained first, tells you how much of the financial work is worth commissioning. Hypothetical example: a household obtains quotes for translating four hundred pages and, before instructing, commissions a two-week assessment that narrows the relevant period considerably, reducing the translation programme to a fraction of what had been priced.
