What Is the Purpose of Form I-912?
Form I-912 is used to request a fee waiver for eligible immigration forms and services by certain eligible categories of
applicants and petitioners. You may request a fee waiver if you are applying or currently approved for one of the eligible
immigrant categories, your documented annual household income is at or below 125 percent of the Federal Poverty

For filing tips and additional information, see www.uscis.gov/i-912.

To request a fee waiver, you must submit Form I-912 and provide the required supporting documentation. A letter stating
you are unable to pay the filing fees or biometric services fees will not be accepted without a completed Form I-912 and
supporting documentation.
You do not need to file Form I-912 for applications and petitions that do not require a filing fee. Some USCIS applications
and petitions have fee exemption requirements for certain types of applicants and petitioners. In these cases, the USCIS
form and instructions will outline the fee exemption and submission requirements if a separate Form I-912 is not required.

How to File Form I-912
You must file this fee waiver request with all applications and petitions for which you are requesting a fee waiver. If you
are filing joint forms that have fees (for example, I-485 and I-765), you only need to file one I-912. You do not have to
file a separate Form I-912 for the filing fee and the biometric services fee (if applicable). If USCIS approves your Form
I-912, we will waive both the filing fee and biometric services fee. Each person requesting a fee waiver must submit an
individual Form I-912.
