Processing Information

Decision. The decision on Form I-942 involves a determination of whether you have established eligibility for the

reduced fee. USCIS will notify you of the decision in writing. If USCIS denies your reduced fee request, the notice will

include information on resubmitting your application or petition. For certain immigration benefits, you may have only

a limited period of time in which to resubmit your application or petition with the proper filing fee. Please review the

Instructions for the application or petition for which you want USCIS to consider a reduced fee to determine when to

refile.

Penalties

If you knowingly and willfully falsify or conceal a material fact or submit a false document with your Form I-942, we will

deny your reduced fee request and may deny any other immigration benefit. In addition, you will face severe penalties

provided by law and may be subject to criminal prosecution.
