technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension, Without Change, of
a Currently Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Request for Fee Waiver; Request for Fee
Exemption
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: Form I–912;
USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals or
households. USCIS uses the data
collected on this form to verify that the
applicant is unable to pay for the
immigration benefit being requested.
USCIS will consider waiving a fee for an
application or petition when the
applicant or petitioner clearly
demonstrates that he or she is unable to
pay the fee. The regulations do not
require that requests for fee waivers be
submitted on a particular form
prescribed by DHS, thus the applicant
may request that the fee be waived by
attaching a written request to the front
of their immigration benefit request. Fee
waivers may also be requested by
completing and submitting Form I–912.
Form I–912 standardizes the collection
and analysis of statements and
supporting documentation provided by
the applicant with the fee waiver
request. Form I–912 also streamlines
and expedites the USCIS review,
approval, or denial of the fee waiver
request by clearly laying out the most
salient data and evidence necessary for
the determination of inability to pay.
Officers evaluate all factors,
circumstances, and evidence supplied
in support of a fee waiver request when
making a final determination. Each case
is unique and is considered on its own
merits. If the fee waiver is granted, the
application will be processed. If the fee
waiver is not granted, USCIS will notify
the applicant and instruct him or her to
file a new application with the
appropriate fee.
Certain applications and petitions
may allow for filing of fee exemptions;
the specific forms have information
regarding the option and the
requirements to request an exemption.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The estimated total number of
respondents for the information
collection Form I–912 is 594,000 and

(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total estimated annual
hour burden associated with this
collection is 704,958 hours.
(7) An estimate of the total public
burden (in cost) associated with the
collection: The estimated total annual
