Public Charge Rule Update: USCIS Publishes the Updated Forms

By admin From my Desk February 5, 2020

USCIS, on February 5, 2020, published the revised forms in furtherance to the Final Rule on the public charge ground of inadmissibility, which is said to come into effect on February 24, 2020. As noted in our previous articles on Public Charge Rule, the new forms are not required to be filled out by the petitioners/aliens with a physical address in Illinois. USCIS will evaluate whether you are inadmissible by weighing all the positive and negative factors related to your age, health (such as your health insurance), family status, assets, resources and financial status (such as you credit card score and report), education and skills (such as evidence of language certifications or courses in English language in addition to other languages), prospective immigration status and period of stay. USCIS will also consider a Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 231A of the Act, as one of the factors in the totality of the circumstances, if you are required to submit the Form I-864 as part of your adjustment of status. Please find the links for the updated forms below:
