Is there a waiver for I-140 fees?

When we talk about immigrant visas like the EB-2 NIW, it is very important to pay attention to all the details of the process, including the fees involved.

The Form I-140 petition is an essential step on this journey, and therefore, it is crucial to know all the rules established by USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services).

Currently, USCIS does not offer waivers for I-140 fees, even for applicants who fall under the EB-2 NIW category where self-filing the petition is allowed. In other words, regardless of eligibility or the nature of the request, paying the fee is mandatory.

This means that when preparing your petition, you must include the corresponding amount of the fee established by USCIS. It is always recommended to check the official and updated USCIS guidelines before submitting any documentation, as rules and fees may change.

Additionally, paying attention to reliable sources and avoiding consultancy offers that promise waivers or guaranteed results is essential to maintain compliance with United States immigration laws.

Remember that the immigration process requires care, and following the legal procedures helps avoid future complications. Seeking information through official sources and staying updated on any legislative changes can make all the difference in conducting a transparent and successful process.
