Struggling with USCIS Fees? Here's Your Guide to Requesting a Waiver

Navigating the immigration process can be expensive, but you may qualify for a fee waiver with USCIS Form I-912. Here's how to request a waiver based on financial hardship:

1. Check Eligibility:

Not all forms or services qualify. Verify on the USCIS website or form instructions if you can request a waiver for your specific case.

2. Download & Read:

Get the latest Form I-912 and instructions from the official USCIS website. Carefully review the eligibility criteria and documentation requirements.

3. Gather Proof:

Collect documents like tax returns, pay stubs, benefits statements, or a written explanation of your financial situation to demonstrate hardship.

4. Complete the Form:

Fill out Form I-912 accurately with matching details in your supporting documents.

5. Optional Cover Letter:

Consider including a personalized letter explaining your specific financial circumstances for further context.

6. Mail it Right:

Use the correct mailing address specified in the instructions, which may vary depending on your application or petition.

7. Wait for a Response:

USCIS will review your request and notify you of the decision (approval or denial). Be patient, as processing may take time.

Remember:

• Follow USCIS instructions precisely. Incomplete applications or missing documents can lead to denial.

• For complex situations or specific guidance, consult an immigration attorney or legal advisor.
