Okies. Fee Waivers. :)

If she truly does not have the money to do this, she can apply, no problem....we did this for part of what we sent in, and this is how:

We had absolutely no money. Ben was sick, but still had just started working. Creditors were calling 3 times a day at least...nasty situation, nasty times. On top of that we had nowhere to live apart from with the parents in law. And you know, if you're absolutely unable to pay the fees in full or in part, this programme is for you. There's nothing to be ashamed of, because THEY will make the decision as to whether or not you are "wrthy" based on the evidence you send them. So here's how:

BOTH of you make a cover letter, explaining that you are asking for a fee waiver, what the fee waiver is for (the form numbers) and then detailing quite broadly the reasons why you cannot afford the fee. Enclose also, some evidence. This can include bank statements, threats from creditors, evidence that you are living in restricted circumstances (such as with family)...anything really, to detail how unable you are to pay the fee - HAS to be truthful mind, or they will certainly reject the fee waiver.

At the end of your letter, you have to write the following: "I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct".

Here is the USCIS fee waiver fact sheet, which details the procedure quote thoroughly. If she does not qualify, the paperwork will be returned. If she does, she'll get an NOA1 instead!

Remember, this is nothing to be ashamed of. The fee waiver guidance and procedure has been put in place for those people for whom the fees are unaffordable, and if your friend is one of them, she should apply. Because that's what it's for :) No harm in trying, because you do not get what you do not ask for! (F)
