We charge green card and H1B visa costs as an institutional cost covered
by indirect costs - never as a direct cost to a federal grant.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Allowability for green card process fees on federal
grants

Could someone please share your thoughts on if green card process fees
are
allowable on the federal grants. I know the question was asked back in
2006,
and there were some inputs on this. I am just trying to gather more
inputs
from the group so we can determine how to treat this locally here. Any
inputs you may provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Martina
