Fee waivers are almost never granted for family-based cases except VAWA.

If you apply for the waiver, your case will sit for weeks to months while they decide whether to grant it, and then its a 99.9% chance theyll eventually reject it (and reject the I-485 itself along with the waiver rejection) so youll end up wasting months.
