You are in Georgia???

in Georgia you need to have a child (i believe not pregnant) to get the food stamps

check into this (maybe online) 

i ran into this when my son lived there and had over 20 surgieries and we helped him apply for SSI benefits

while we waited to hear he applied for food stamps / he was married but she left him 

without a child he was not eligible for food stamps

congratulaitons on the new baby 

good luck to your husband looking for work

Hi guys!!

 

I'm a USC. My husband just arrived in USA with an IR1-DCF. (We used a co-sponsor.) He still looking for a job and I'm about 7 mths pregnant.

 

I was just wondering If I apply for food stamps, will it have any affect to our co-sponsor or my husband? (To get a citizenship) I really don't want to do this but I can't work much and my husband didn't start working yet. Any income would help us a lot!!

 

Thank you so much!!!

No. The idea why they want the USC to have a good income is they don't want another person to come here and be in poverty...kind of defeats the purpose of coming to America
