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 http://bit.ly/frcQfS.
