Are you asking how to file a fee waiver?  Find the instructions here https://www.uscis.gov/i-912 

 

I'm not sure if that's your actual question, or you have a question about the requirements for it?

 

If you are asking what happens if you don't file the ROC at all, read this https://my.uscis.gov/helpcenter/article/what-happens-if-i-don-t-file-form-i-751-during-the-90-days-prior-to-my-2nd-year-anniversary-as-a-conditional-resident 

 

 

Perhaps a friend or family member can loan you the money for the filing fee?

You have 2 options since you don't want to lose your status:

 

1.  File ROC with the fee waiver as instructed above

2.  Borrow the money to file

 

You are 1 week into the 90 day window, so you can file now.

The documentation states that a waiver can be filed for ROC.....but make sure you provide sufficient evidence that you can't afford to pay the fee......

Good Luck

You're going to need a lot more proof than just a letter from your father-in-law.

 

Have you read the links provided above and in your other thread about this?  Can you ask a friend or family member to lend you the money and you pay them back once you are on your feet again?

 

I know the stress is killing you right now, but you need to slow down, and read the info provided first.

Do you or your husband receive food stamps, WIC, federal or state benefits or anything like that?

 

Check the poverty guidelines based on your household size to see if you are at or below that.

 

If you use food pantries or anything like that (church collected donations, community organizations you've used for assistance, etc.) get them to provide you with a statement relating to your need of their support verifying your situation.

 

Having a credit card doesn't mean that you don't qualify.  You really need to look at the guidelines in what is considered evidence.

You sound mega stressed, and I totally understand and get why, but please read the information that you are being provided with, and digest it carefully. 

The fee waiver is put in place specifically to help people who are struggling in situations such as this, so will in all likelihood be approved for your circumstances. 

You have several months before the deadline for filing your I-751, and you aren't at risk of being deported at the present time, so take your time, start collecting the documents needed NOW, and do it right. 

 

Do you file tax returns as married filing separately with your father in law? Married filing jointly with your father in law? With your father in law named as head of household? If no to all of these, then your father in law writing a letter is largely pointless, as your father in law is not involved in your immigration process (even if he was your co-sponsor for your I-864).  

However, the other documents you mention - bank statements, loan statements, car payments, in conjunction with payslips - all pertaining to you and your spouse and your financial situation, are documents that you will need, so start making notes, and collecting what you will need NOW.

 

 

Unfortunately you will have to do lots of reading, notes and paperwork in order to do this yourself - but it is no harder than any other part of the immigration process you have done to date. 

Start with the federal poverty guidelines HERE:  https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-912p.pdf?download=1

If your income figure you have is beneath 150% of the federal poverty levels, then read everything on HERE: https://www.uscis.gov/feewaiver

Once you have done that, then the form is HERE: https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-912.pdf?download=1

The instructions for the form are HERE: https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-912instr.pdf?download=1

 

When ready, you file the I-912 WITH your I-751. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and one more thing....If I was a USCIS adjudicator I might just 'lose' your file to avoid having to read it.  PLEASE for the love of satan, at the very least, use paragraphs and full stops, as it makes it very difficult to read what you are writing.

The immigration process is stressful enough, even without having to worry about how to pay for it----so of course it's understandable how fretful you are about this extra strain now.

 

All in all, you MUST file for ROC to prevent losing legal status.  Right now your focus needs to be on reading the info regarding how to file for a waiver, and looking at the form instructions to figure out what type of evidence you can provide.  USCIS recognizes you may not be able to provide everything they are asking for in your waiver application, so they do give you several options to plead your case for exemption from the filing fee.

 

These are the instructions which tells you what they will accept as evidence towards obtaining a fee waiver, and how to fill out and file the form.  At least read this tonight, it may help put your mind at ease a little bit when you see what is required---because you may have a better case than you initially thought.

Thank you all so much for helping me honestly hard to sleep but I do feel a little better it's hard knowing theirs not alot, I can do. And my husband's already done so much, question though if I file the fee wavier and it is denied what will happen will I be deported or will they let me refile and pay the amount honestly I could probably get the money if I could save a little at a time but right now I can't get $680together 

[Frips 166]

Only waiver would be denied, not your I751 petition. If that happens they will send you everything back and you will have to file it again, this time with a check.

Keep in mind that I751 has to be filed before GC expires, with or without waiver.

 

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.
