other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension, Without Change, of 

a Currently Approved Collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Request for Fee Waiver; Request for Fee 

Exemption 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the DHS 

sponsoring the collection: Form I–912; 

USCIS. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Individuals or 

households. USCIS uses the data 

collected on this form to verify that the 

applicant is unable to pay for the 

immigration benefit being requested. 

USCIS will consider waiving a fee for an 

application or petition when the 

applicant or petitioner clearly 

demonstrates that he or she is unable to 

pay the fee. The regulations do not 

require that requests for fee waivers be 

submitted on a particular form 

prescribed by DHS, thus the applicant 

may request that the fee be waived by 

attaching a written request to the front 

of their immigration benefit request. Fee 

waivers may also be requested by 

completing and submitting Form I–912. 

Form I–912 standardizes the collection 

and analysis of statements and 

supporting documentation provided by 

the applicant with the fee waiver 

request. Form I–912 also streamlines 

and expedites the USCIS review, 

approval, or denial of the fee waiver 

request by clearly laying out the most 

salient data and evidence necessary for 

the determination of inability to pay. 

Officers evaluate all factors, 

circumstances, and evidence supplied 

in support of a fee waiver request when 

making a final determination. Each case 

is unique and is considered on its own 

merits. If the fee waiver is granted, the 

application will be processed. If the fee 

waiver is not granted, USCIS will notify 

the applicant and instruct him or her to 

file a new application with the 

appropriate fee. 

Certain applications and petitions 

may allow for filing of fee exemptions; 

the specific forms have information 

regarding the option and the 

requirements to request an exemption. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: The estimated total number of 

respondents for the information 

collection Form I–912 is 594,000 and 

the estimated hour burden per response 

is 1.17. The estimated total number of 

respondents for the information 

collection Non-form request for fee 

waiver is 8,400 and the estimated hour 

burden per response is 1.17. The 

estimated total number of respondents 

for the information collection 8 CFR 

103.7(d) Director’s exception request is 

128 and the estimated hour burden per 

response is 1.17. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The total estimated annual 

hour burden associated with this 

collection is 704,958 hours. 

(7) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in cost) associated with the 

collection: The estimated total annual 

cost burden associated with this 

collection is $2,259,480.
