移民费用到底付给谁:一张账单背后的五类收款人

Short answer

“总价”最容易比较,也最容易隐藏责任。可信的收费说明应告诉客户:每笔钱为什么付、付给谁、何时产生、能否退回。

Who this is for: High-net-worth families / Professionals · Applies to: Any location

1. 政府费用

USCIS申请费、加急费或移民费通常由政府制定,并会随表格版本和政策调整。报价单应注明具体表格、申请人数、当前金额、支付方式和核验日期。政府费不是机构收入,也不能以“内部渠道费”名义加价;递交前可在USCIS官方费用表或计算器复核。

2. 律师费

律师费对应法律评估、策略、文书、递交和答复等工作。客户应知道律师或律所是谁、费用覆盖哪些阶段、RFE或上诉是否另计。若咨询公司代收律师费,要说明代收关系、法律服务合同以及退款路径。仅写“美国律师费”而没有律师主体,不足以核验。

3. 中国客户服务费

中文咨询、材料协调、项目信息整理、翻译管理和进度沟通可以形成独立服务费,但应与法律意见和政府审批区分。服务公司可以组织交付,却不能把自己的服务费描述成“绿卡费用”。客户应取得正式合同、收据和对应交付清单。

4. EB-5项目相关费用

除投资款外,EB-5常涉及行政费、发行或管理相关成本以及律师、经济报告等第三方费用。资金进入哪个账户、托管释放条件、哪些费用进入项目体系、推广方是否获得报酬,都应在适用的发行文件、认购文件和书面披露中核对。区域中心获批并不代表政府为投资安全背书。

5. 企业与雇主服务相关费用

企业移民可能产生公司设立、会计、工资、租赁和实际运营成本;职业移民则要特别区分申请人自己的合法服务成本与雇主为PERM承担的活动和费用。美国劳工部规则禁止雇主就取得永久劳工证相关活动向外籍员工索取或收取付款,并对同一律师同时代表双方时的费用承担作出规定。任何具体方案都应由律师按事实审核,不能简单包装为“购买岗位”。

6. 用资金流向表保护自己

付款前要求一张明细表:费用名称、金额或计算方式、收款主体、账户名称、到期节点、对应交付、可退条件。原则很简单:合同主体、收款主体和实际工作方如果不一致,就必须解释关系。不要向顾问私人账户支付大额款项,也不要仅凭聊天截图确认退款承诺。

Note for applicants based in China

Applicants based in China usually also need to handle three things: keeping Chinese- and English-language documents consistent, making sure funds and income can be explained with independent documentation, and managing the gap between priority-date timing and a child's age. Any packaging that doesn't match the underlying facts creates greater risk at the RFE or interview stage.
