Fees Were Waived

What it means

USCIS approved your fee waiver request (Form I-912 or a written request), so you do not have to pay the filing fee for this case. The case is now accepted and will be processed like any other.

What usually happens next

Processing continues as normal: a biometrics notice if your form needs fingerprints, then review.

What to do now

• Keep the notice that confirms the waiver with your receipt notice.
• Watch your mail for the biometrics appointment if your form requires one.

Questions

Is a case with a fee waiver processed more slowly?

No. Once accepted, it joins the same queue as cases that paid the fee.
