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.
