Can I request a fee waiver for the EB-4?

The EB-4 is a visa category that encompasses various types of immigrants with special characteristics, such as religious workers and others who fall under specific situations. Understanding the rules and fees associated with this visa is essential, especially because outdated information or miracle promises can lead to misunderstandings.

Regarding fee waivers for the EB-4, it is important to highlight that the possibility of requesting a fee waiver depends on the form you are using and the specific circumstances of your case. For example, if in addition to the EB-4 petition you are adjusting your status through Form I-485, there may be an option to request a fee waiver, provided you prove that you meet the eligibility criteria for the waiver – usually related to your financial situation.

The specific petition for the EB-4, generally filed via Form I-360, does not usually contemplate the possibility of fee waivers. It is crucial to follow the current instructions from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for the form you are submitting, as the rules may change over time.

Official information is the safest source to avoid misunderstandings and to ensure that all regulations are being properly followed. Caution and attention are recommended regarding any offer or marketing campaign promising results or benefits without a detailed analysis based on USCIS’ official rules. Following U.S. immigration laws and seeking information from reliable sources is always the best path for a safe and successful process.
