USCIS has published an interim memo regarding fee waiver processes in
relation to the new application and petition fee increases that went
into effect on November 23, 2010. USCIS has now developed a new Form
I-912, the Request for Fee Waiver, to support the fee-waiver request
process. The form became available for public use on November 23. The
form is the standard means to request a fee waiver and is intended,
USCIS says, “to bring clarity and consistency to the fee-waiver
process.” Learn more about the fee waiver guidelines at
