Affadavit of Support and Medicaid?

[mamaronga 2]

If I were to be signed up on a Medicaid Program through DSS (Department of Social Services)....

would that hurt our chances with the K-1 at all, regarding the I-134 Affidavit of Support?

I do not meet the income requirements for the I-134 and so I have a co-sponsor who does.

However I am curious if anyone knows if me being on Medicaid will hurt our chances or does it not really matter.

THANK YOU ALL!

With a cosponsor, using Medicaid or for that matter, getting SSI, doesn't have any effect on your petition. A friend of mine recently got her fiance a visa and had always used Medicaid and SSI.

Could hurt a lot if it were brought up at the interview. People who qualify for Medicaid don't make much or have much. How can they support another person? Cosponsor going to support both peeps?

It's a bit harsh of you to be derisive about the fact the petitioner qualifies for Medicaid. The co-sponsor isn't required to sponsor both, but rather the beneficary/ies and the co-sponsor's dependents as per their tax returns. The beneficiary is not going to qualify for medicaid, so what's your beef? The whole point of a co-sponsor is that there's someone who can meet the financial costs of support and is liable to repay any costs incurred by the US taxpayer for the beneficiary/ies, including medical care.
