No automatic approval follows from substitution. Corporate transfer terms include a new background check.
Identify the stage of the proposed change
A pending preparation plan and a transfer under published corporate terms are not necessarily the same procedural event. Record the facts and seek current official instructions. The replacement person still requires the applicable assessment; a company’s decision does not confer residence or work permission.
A nonrefundable processing fee of fifteen thousand United States dollars per person, successful vetting, and then a gift of one million United States dollars paid by the applicant to the U.S. government, or two million where a corporate sponsor gives on the person's behalf. The official program page separately states that an applicant must be eligible for lawful permanent residence, admissible to the United States and have an available visa; background and security checks, medical examination and the consequences of prior immigration or criminal history therefore remain relevant. Permanent residence then follows through an existing immigrant classification, which means the ordinary grounds of inadmissibility apply, and a visa number must be available under the Visa Bulletin for the applicant's country of chargeability. The executive order contemplates prior-holder abandonment for its transfer process, but an employee whose residence was never granted has a different factual position.
