there are more logistical factors than just budget...
It's true that some are ameliorated with larger budgets...
For instance, a visa that is approved so late that you have to book a
fullfare ticket, pay the late fee for IETF, and book the suite at the
hotel, and that screws your budget.
more money also lets you hire visa consultants, baby sitters, bring your
entire family if you can't leave them behind, fly on shorter, more
direct routes to deal with conflicts,etc.
