First, you may be eligible for a fee waiver if your spouse, the head of your household, or you are receiving a government benefit because of your low income or assets. This is known as a means-tested benefit. Examples of means-tested benefits include food stamps, Medicaid, and Supplemental Security Income.

For a single person in the continental United States, the 2022 federal poverty level is $13,590. For each additional person in the household, the federal poverty level increased by $4,720. (So for a household of three, for example, the 2022 federal poverty level is $23,030.)

You don't file Form I-912 in advance. It must always be sent together with some kind of application or petition for an immigration benefit, such as for a replacement green card or a certificate of citizenship.

How do you waive the green card renewal fee? To waive the fee for Form I-90, you will need to fill out Form I-912, otherwise known as Request for Fee Waiver. To receive the fee waiver, you must be able to show that your financial situation bars you from making such a payment.
