Title: ●Immigration Benefit Fee Waivers for Aliens in T or U Nonimmigrant Status
Abstract: This document amends regulations governing the fees charged by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regarding fee waiver eligibility for aliens who are victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons and who are assisting law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the acts of trafficking (T Visa) and aliens who are victims of certain crimes and are being helpful to the investigation or prosecution of those crimes (U Visa). This rule amends the USCIS fee schedule to permit the submission of an application for a fee waiver by such applicants in relation to USCIS Form I-192, Application for Advance Permission to Enter as a Nonimmigrant, and/or Form I-193, Application for Waiver of Passport and/or Visa. This rule is intended to assist these victims in being able to afford their immigration benefits.
