Form I-912
What Is the Purpose of Form I-912?
You may request a fee waiver if you are unable to pay the filing fees or biometric services fees for an application or petition that is eligible for a fee waiver. When you request a fee waiver, you must clearly demonstrate that you are unable to pay the fees. For purposes of this form, the Requestor is the primary applicant or petitioner requesting the immigration benefit and fee waiver.
The Requestor can also be the parent or legal guardian of a child or person with a physical, developmental, or mental disability who is the primary applicant or petitioner. If an individual is under 14 years of age, a parent or legal guardian may sign the request on behalf of that person.
