No. The acquisition price is a commercial outlay, not an immigration cost, and L-1A has no investment requirement. The government charges are the Form I-129 fee, the fraud prevention and detection fee and optional premium processing, all from the published fee schedule.
L-1 has no investment test, so the purchase price is context
It is easy to confuse the L and E categories on this point, because both involve a business. E-2 measures the money. L-1 does not measure anything financial about the applicant; it measures the corporate relationship, the year abroad and the capacity of the role.
The acquisition price of the U.S. towing operation therefore appears in the file only as evidence, showing that the subsidiary is real, that it was actually purchased and that the parent has the means to support the position. The immigration costs are the Form I-129 filing fee, the statutory fraud prevention and detection fee, and the premium-processing fee if a fifteen-business-day decision is wanted, each read from the USCIS fee schedule, Form G-1055, at the time of filing.
The family's L-2 admissions carry their own charges. Legal and accounting work on the acquisition belongs to the transaction budget. Hypothetical example: a Hope elevator-maintenance firm plans to transfer its regional director after acquiring a U.S.
service company. The first review distinguishes acquisition expenses from petition expenses and identifies which entity will pay each bill. Closing statements prove the purchase; the USCIS fee schedule settles government charges; neither establishes executive capacity.
The useful decision is whether premium processing is worth its published fee after the file is complete, rather than paying for speed while a missing staffing plan still invites questions. L-1A has no minimum investment amount.
