I-912 Fee Waiver

USCIS has issued a new form named I-912 Request for Fee Waiver.  Several categories of immigrants may file the form and request for a fee waiver.  For a list of who may apply for a waiver, please read the instructions for Form I-912.  In general, applicants who are filing for immigration benefits based on employment are not eligible for a waiver.

Normally, USCIS will grant the waiver if the applicants can show that they are receiving means-test benefits or are living at or under 150% of the federal povety guidelines.  For those who are under financial stress such as unemployment or high medical expense, USCIS may grant a fee waiver if the applicant may provide sufficient information of the applicant's income and assets and a detailed description of the applicant's financial difficulties.

移民局頒布了新的豁免費用申請表I - 912。幾個不同類別的移民可以遞交此申請表要求豁免遞交移民申請的費用。至於誰可以申請豁免，請流覽移民局關於I - 912表格的說明。一般來說，工作移民的申請人是不能申請豁免費用的。

在一般情況下，如果申請人能夠證明他們正在接受援助，或生活在低於聯邦貧窮準則150％以下的水平，移民局將給予豁免。對於那些活在財政壓力下，如失業或需要支付高額醫療費用的人士，如果申請人可以提供足夠的資料，包括申請人的收入和資產以及能夠詳細說明申請人的經濟困難，移民局或會給予豁免。
