USCIS Introduces First-Ever Fee Waiver Form

USCIS introduced its first-ever standardized fee waiver form, Form I-912, on November 23, 2010, the same day that the filing fee adjustments took effect.

According to USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas, the new form is designed to bring "clarity and consistency to immigration-benefit services." The form is a response to the public's complaints that the lack of a standardized form led to confusion regarding the criteria and standards for approving fee waivers. Notably, the new form includes information on the methodology USCIS will use when adjudicating fee waiver requests.
