The problem you will have is if you cannot pay the visa fee based on finances, how will you prove you can support your spouse on the affidavit of support?

A fee waiver request may be granted when it has been established to the satisfaction of the CIS Officer with jurisdiction over the request, that the individual is unable to pay the fee.

How To Apply for a Fee Waiver

• To apply for a fee waiver, an applicant must submit an affidavit—or unsworn declaration that is signed and dated and includes the statement: “I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct”—requesting a fee waiver and stating the reasons why he/she is unable to pay the filing fee.

• The affidavit and any supporting documentation (see above, Documentation) must be submitted along with the benefit application or petition.

• To facilitate the processing of fee waiver requests, applicants should write in large print “Fee Waiver Request” on the outside of the mailing envelope containing their application or petition and fee waiver request, as well as at the top of their affidavit and each page of their supporting information.

• If a fee waiver request is denied, the entire application package will be returned to the applicant, who must then begin the application process again by re-filing for the benefit with the appropriate fee. –

I have a very strong co sponsor. But I cant find anything about applying for a fee waiver other than at the USCIS for the I-130. I have already paid for everything except the IV fee of 380.00. Does anyone know anything more about this?
