cost burden associated with this

(1) Type of Information Collection:
Extension, Without Change, of a
Currently Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Request for Fee Waiver.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: 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. 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 USCIS’s 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.
(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

response is 1.17.
