Nope, you can not waive that. Actual total cost right now is around $1225.

plus the fees for the medical exam - depending on the part of the country you live in, those can run around $300-400. And you have to pay for copies of certificates, and you better mail it using tracking etc. It certainly ain't cheap.

 

So perhaps it is better to wait a few more months until you save up enough $$ to file (plus gather additional evidence). Your spouse needs to make 125% of the poverty guidelines for your household size, or else you should get a co-sponsor.

I'm in US 4 years before

@Tommy john, can you clarify when did you last enter the US, what visa did you use to enter the US, and what is the "Admit Until" date that CBP provided.
