I-912 Fee Waiver ???

[Jalan 1]

Hello All,

   For the affidavit of support down the road, I may need a co-signer but for now my income is on the edge.  I'm finding conflicting info if it's possible to waive the I-130 filing fees (my wife and child).

   I thought I read 'This fee cannot be waived' but further reading is confusing.  I reviewed the 912 and it doesn't specify any restrictions.

I greatly appreciate any help.  I'm very early in the process.  We're ready to file but having to fly back/forth each month or so has crippled finances.

 

Thank you!

Not eligible for fee waiver for CR/IR forms.

4. Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, but only if you are an applicant for E-2 CNMI investor nonimmigrant status under 8 CFR 214.2(e)(23);

5. Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, but only if you are applying for humanitarian parole;

 

They list them in order and I 130 is not mentioned.

The Administration has tweaked the requirements but if you qualify U4U is the way to go.

Thank You.  This is interesting.  I need to dig into it, but my initial thought is we don't qualify.  She's currently living in Portugal with temporary protection status.  This makes my "Commute" a little easier though.  I thought I saw current wait times were pushing that of the immigrant spouse visas?

The last few U4Us I have seen have taken a lot longer than previously, around the 90 day mark.

 

This was mentioned some months back I see.
