Note: If the application is filed for an alien who has tuberculosis, is mentally retarded, or has a history of mental illness, there is no fee required. |
| Special Instructions |
Note on Filing Fee:
A fee waiver request will be accepted in accordance with 8 CFR 103.7(c) (5) for the following individuals:
- An alien in lawful nonimmigrant status under section 101(a) (5) (T);
- An approved VAWA self-petitioner; or

Additional information: As of January 4, 2010, infection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is no longer a ground of inadmissibility. If you have an HIV infection, you are no longer inadmissible to the United States starting Jan. 4, 2010; you are also no longer required to file Form I-601 because of your HIV infection.
As stated in the instructions of the Form I-601, the approval of a Form I-601 waives only those events and the resulting grounds of inadmissibility that are identified in the application. If you are in need of filing a Form I-601, you should specify on this Form I-601 every ground of inadmissibility for which you seek a waiver. You may file just one application, and pay just one filing fee, if you request more than one type of waiver or a waiver for more than one event or condition that makes you inadmissible. If you do not include all applicable events or grounds of inadmissibility in your application, you may need to file an additional Form I-601 and pay an additional fee to request any additional waivers in the future.
