Fee Waiver for ROC

[MamaAsiya 8]

Hi again VJers,

I am a USC and my ex is applying for ROC alone. He has a misdemeanor for spousal battery on his record and is obviously nervous about getting deported. My question is, do fee waivers have any affect on the decision for ROC?

I'm trying to decide if I should help him with the money. I am also planning on claiming him as a dependent when I file taxes this year. Would that disqualify him from the waiver?

Thanks again!

You can't claim a spouse a dependent. He was your spouse on 12/31/ 2010 (based on info from another post by you) so you would have to file jointly to get the deduction.

Oops - I meant filing jointly. I guess it doesn't matter for the fee waiver since it's 2011.

Any thoughts on if the fee waiver will effect whether or not they remove conditions?
