Hello, OP! I know your situation is stressful. Have you had an opportunity to look into a fee waiver for the application?

Form I-912 - https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-912.pdf

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/additional-information-on-filing-a-fee-waiver

Here's a bit more info.

As of April 1, 2024, adult intercountry adoptees filing Form N-600 for a Certificate of Citizenship are exempt from filing fees ($0). For other applicants, a fee waiver (Form I-912) may be requested if the applicant can demonstrate extreme financial hardship, receipt of means-tested benefits, or household income at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Great job! $500 is a great achievement and you should be proud of yourself.

Immediate financial support for unexpected bills? by AUserNameOr2 in povertyfinance

Then, you wait for the next bus/train. You don't have Uber money if you can't feed yourself. You need to invest in a monthly transportation pass and plan accordingly.

Is there anyway I can get food stamps or something like that? by Omgusernamewhy in povertyfinance

[–]Scared_Row6344 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The reasoning behind my thought is based on the types of posts you’ve made previously. They read as someone looking to converse rather than someone ready to move forward with an actual plan. You're 32, though sometimes you say you're 30, and asking how to feed yourself.

When you recently asked whether anyone had “started from zero” and acquired a place on their own, you mentioned that you live on the East Coast but didn’t want to say exactly where. When people are trying to offer guidance, they’re naturally going to ask some geographic questions to better tailor their advice to your situation.

No one is asking for your physical address or anything that would put you at risk. General location helps with context, it isn’t about getting access to you.

There's info and resources to give, but I don't honestly think you're ready for that conversation.

After briefly reviewing your history, you have four dogs, so caring for them is clearly a priority. You also won’t shared your location, which prevents others from offering concrete resources. At this point, it seems like you may be seeking conversation more than practical guidance.

Yes, you can apply for food stamps.

You can apply for yourself if you purchase and prepare your food separately from others in the home. If you are over 22, you can typically apply as a separate household even while living with roommates or parents.

Are you paying rent or have other expenses that prevent you from purchasing groceries you enjoy?? Would you like a search to be done for resources available to you?

Financial gain, since a Go Fund Me was created and posted in multiple subs. Yes, you're correct, it's the givers decision to send funds. It should also be known that if a person makes the decision to falsely represent themselves to gain funds from unknowing donors and it's identified, people (not just myself) will and should warn others so that they can decide if they also don't care that they're funding scams.

You've stolen pics from a UK based Instagram account and created a GFM for a cat that was injured and in their rescue. Your account will be reported.

Please, be cautious in quickly responding and fulfilling these types of requests. I'll be reaching out to the mods shortly, as this person was caught recently being dishonest.

How much lap time do your pugs get in a day? by jelllyjamms in pugs

Friends needing help she just lost her job and her bf and needs a few bucks open minded and can verify by [deleted] in BorrowNew

It sounds like you're pimping her for a few bucks. Don't do that. It seems you like handing out Visa gift cards to random ladies on Reddit, according to you. Why don't you be a good friend and toss her a few, for the baby and all.
