First-Ever Proposed Fee Waiver Form Published by USCIS

On July 16, 2010, U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Services (USCIS) announced that for the first time it has proposed a standardized fee waiver form for individuals applying for certain immigration benefits that accept fee waivers. The purpose of the fee waiver is to waive the filing fee associated with certain immigration applications for applicants who can not afford to pay the filing fee. Currently, there is no standardized form for requesting a fee waiver. Instead, applicants must submit his or her own fee waiver request per the guidelines of USCIS. The proposed form, I-912, Request for Individual Fee Waiver, along with additional information related to the I-912 can be viewed here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=2e15ac6b49cd9210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD
