Comment Submitted by NALEO Educational Fund

Summary: The NALEO Educational Fund and a coalition of immigrant-serving organizations support the continued use of Form I-912 and its current fee waiver eligibility framework. They argue that fee waivers are essential for making naturalization accessible to low-income residents and urge USCIS to modernize the process by allowing digital submission of these forms.
The attached comments are being submitted by the NALEO Educational Fund, on behalf of the signatories to the comment. The NALEO Educational Fund also acknowledges that the USCIS has today published a pre-publication proposed rule that would among other things, eliminate the fee waiver for naturalization applications. The organization notes that the attached comments highlighting the importance of the fee waiver for the accessibility of naturalization makes these comments even more salient given the foregoing policy development.
