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 it's a 99.9% chance they'll eventually reject it (and reject the I-485 itself along with the waiver rejection) so you'll end up wasting months.
 
SEE: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-912instr.pdf

Ther are six specificed bases of filing an I-485 for which a fee waiver may be requested. T nonimmigrants, asylees, VAWA, I-360 (widow, Amerasian, and specisl immigrant juveniles), Cuban adjustment act, and registry under INA 249.

Any I-485 for which an I-864 is required or is employment based is ineligible to even request a fee waiver.
