On July 29, 2020, a District Court Judge in New York stopped the USCIS and DOS from enforcing, applying, implementing, or treating as effective the new public charge rule during the national health emergency declared by President Trump due to Covid-19.
On July 31, 2020 USCIS announced that in response to this ruling USCIS will not consider any information or documentation provided with the I-944 on applications filed after July 29, 2020. In addition, the USCIS will not review information provided with respect to public benefits on the I-485, I-129, or I-539 filed after July 29, 2020.
Applications for green cards postmarked after July 29, 2020 should not include the I-944 or provide information about the receipt of public benefits on the I-485, I-129, or I-539.
To date, the DOS has not provided guidance on how it will comply with the ruling.
does it affect the application for i-140? or for nurses
ReplyDeleteThe court has removed some Trump-made difficulties with the Consular Process or I-485.
DeleteHello, Atty!

It will no longer be required.
DeleteAnd public charge is back. Except for NY,CT and Vermont
ReplyDeleteNot really. Only on Adjustment of Status cases, not Consular cases.
