Agency Information Collection Activities; Extension, Without Change, of a Currently Approved Collection: Request for Fee Waiver
USCIS has published a routine Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) notice announcing the extension of the currently approved information collection for the Request for Fee Waiver (Form I-912). No substantive changes are being made to the form or the process. This notice simply allows the public 30 days to submit comments to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) before the collection is renewed. Actions like these are a standard administrative requirement and do not signal any policy shift for fee waiver eligibility or procedures.
This notice has no immediate impact on you as an applicant. The fee waiver request process is staying exactly the same — nothing about eligibility, required documents, or the form itself is changing. If you currently qualify for a fee waiver, you can continue applying as you normally would. No action is needed on your part.
Key changes
- Routine PRA renewal of the Request for Fee Waiver (I-912) information collection — no substantive changes
- 30-day public comment period opened for OMB review
- Form content, eligibility criteria, and fee waiver process remain unchanged
