N-400 and Fee Waiver

[pamala900 33]

Hey everyone,

its been a long time since I have been on this site. But I am in the process of citizenship after living here in USA for 9 years!

I sent off my paper work via mail yesterday. I was eligible for the fees to be waived because of our income, below 150%.

I came across this by accident, I wish I had known sooner, because I had being putting off applying because of the $750! and going up every year.

Has anyone experienced filing for citizenship and the fee waiver?  I am not sure what to expect. Would they approve the fee waiver pretty quickly after they get to my application?

or would it go through the whole process and find out months later? I read that they don't usually  deny fee waivers if everything checks out. 

Anyone here experience the process  before? and enlighten me with their experience

I'm also wondering this and following out of personal curiosity. At what stage is the fee waiver requests considered? After the Notice of Action but before the biometrics appointment notice?

This is what I am wondering. I guess I will wait and see, because I could not find any information on it. Unless someone can comment on the thread, with personal experience.

My older two boys were approved for the fee waiver.  The waiver was approved first then they moved the application on to the next step. Nothing can be done until the waiver is approved or a payment.

Just as I thought, it makes the most sense. Thank you so much!
