USCIS Proposes Fee Waiver Form

For the first time ever, the USCIS has proposed a standardized fee waiver form, Form I-912 (Request for Individual Fee Waiver), that will provide relief to financially disadvantaged visa and green card applicants. 

Highlights of the form include: standardizing the fee waiver request process and setting forth clear criteria for eligibility; providing clear evidentiary requirements and guidance on the application types for which a fee waiver can be requested; and allowing applicants to request a fee waiver for both the underlying visa/green card application and the fingerprint fee with just one form.   

The USCIS is currently accepting comments on the form, so the form is not available yet.  We will keep you posted on the availability of the form at a later date.
