Vawa part3

ishka86 before becoming an LPR you can use any public benefits without any problem, but as soon you become an LPR you should stop getting public benefits ok. Most of the States just approve for food stamp and medicare with prima facie,but not for cash assistance.

zainab786 once you have the green card you should not use public benefits because it will work against you when you will file for citizenship. Until the individual receive the green card Vawa filers can use public benefits without any problem,but once you have the green card you should be able to provide for yourself without using government funds for that. The Uscis can consider you a public charge and may not allow you to reenter in the USA when you are returning from a trip abroad or denying your Citizenship.In case of emergency after receiving the green card I do not recommend that you get any benefits more than six months at all. The State or Government might grant you benefits, but despite that you will have a big problem in the future. If you have children your children can use food stamps and medicaid without problem BUT NOT CASH ASSISTANCE, and YOU should not apply for any public benefits after receiving the green card or you will face serious consequences regarding your citizenship or reentering in the Usa after a trip abroad as i said before.

Well said thanks

Sandranj,

I have sent the letter to them regarding my packet, NOA and prima facie.

I'm considering applying for I-485 so I can get work permit.

Is it a good idea to send it now or should i wait till I hear sth back from them about the NOA?

I'm afraid that I sent I-485 now and they lost my I-360, when they start to process I-485 and didn't see my I-360, they would put me in a removal processing.

At the meant time, I only have 30$ left in hand

jesse007 wait until you het any information regarding your NOA.
