New CIS fee waiver guidance available
Immigrants' Rights Update, Vol. 18, No. 2, April 2, 2004

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recently issued new guidance to its offices around the country regarding CIS’s policy for waiving fees when applicants for an immigration benefit establish that they are unable to pay the established fees.  Though this “field guidance” does not cover every circumstance that might arise, it is a useful resource for advocates who work with low-income immigrants who may need to submit some type of application to CIS.  The field guidance document can be downloaded in PDF format from the following URL:  http://uscis.gov/graphics/publicaffairs/newsrels/FeeWaiver03_29_04.pdf.
