(Frequently Asked Questions)
Most U.S. immigration forms require payment of a filing fee before an application can be processed. However, sometimes these fees can create a barrier and keep individuals from filing an application, and can oftentimes leave them wondering if there is another way that they can file the application, even if they cannot afford the fee. Fortunately, there is a way to file using a fee waiver.
There are three ways through which one can become a US citizen: 1) through birth in the US, 2) through a US citizen parent for a child who was born abroad, and 3) through naturalization. Naturalization is the process of becoming a U.S. citizen for those who were born in another country, and whose parent(s) were not US citizens before they reached their 18th birthday.

In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which allows spouses, parents and children who have been abused by U.S. citizens and permanent residents to apply for a green card on their own (self-petition), without needing their abuser’s permission, involvement, or knowledge. Protection from this act is available to both men and women.
