It's not an opinion, it is fact. You STILL do not seem to grasp the difference between means-tested and public charge. Please do not give advice on a topic you do not understand as it just confuses people.

I think u should say that to yourself. I think that's the fact.

ENOUGH WILL THE CONVERSATION...THAT'S MY OPINION!!!! :bonk::ot:

The longer it takes to happen the more you'll appreciate it when it does!

Sec 8 is a means-tested benefit. As are foodstamps. We have established in YOUR thread that you still do not understand the difference between public-charge and means-tested benefit and how they relate to immigration. Foodstamps are NOT a public-charge consideration but ARE a means-tested benefit, just like Section 8 is.

You state that someone on Section 8 can sponsor someone however in the information you show that someone with a household of 1 has to earn below $17K which is UNDER the limit for AOS (and in some countries the I-134). To explain, as the fiancee is not in the country the USC was assessed at a 1 for the household... the immigrant isn't included in the household count. If you are saying that you were assessed at a 2 (you have a child) then you would STILL be under the income limits once you add the immigrant (taking your household count to a 3). If you are saying that you would apply for Sec 8 whilst living with the immigrant this is a different situation but this is a K1 qn so the fiance/e is not in the country to be counted.

Also, section 8 income limits depends on area. Click this link: http://www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/il/il12/index.html if you select a state you will see the different areas of the state also have different limits.

That said, this has nothing to do with the OP. Also, you also don't need to copy and paste entire information from a link.. you can just put the link.

Vanessa and Tony You are exactly correct..FS and Section 8 are both means tested benefits and if you receive either of them your income is well under the qualifying limit.
