Hello,
I'm gonna apply for Citizenship in about six months and was just looking into form changes, fees, etc. and came across the possibility of applying for a reduced fee, if my income is below 400% of the federal poverty guideline.
I was wondering, if anybody has successfully applied for it, how it works and if it has any disadvantages, e.g. it looks bad in front of the officer because I seem cheap or too poor to even pay for my own naturalization. I'm pretty close to the 400% and if I started saving now, could also pay the full fee. But figured, if there's an option to pay less, why not try it. Unless, it affects me negatively to do so. Then I wouldn't.
I'm happy about any replies, opinions or whatever 😊
Thank you all!
