Hello

Please can I get further explanation on Uscis policies coming to effect on September. My wife and two children are all USC and my than girlfriend who is my wife now filled a K1 visa for me which I came to the United States with. Currently I’m on AOS which we petition about 10 months ago and received the NOA and done my biometric. I already have my EAD and now working and driving. My problem now is when I came about 6months ago my wife made me signed up Medicaid health insurance because she said it was free and I also needed to go to the hospital. As the new policy coming in September which include immigrants using any government assistance including Medicaid please can this affect my application? And if it will what will be the way forward? Should I called and remove my name of the Medicaid? Thank you

Your wife is mistaking about you and Medicaid. Medicaid is paid by tax payers and is not readily available to immigrants. The whole point of your wife filling out and signing the Affidavit of Support for you is so you won't be a public charge (use government benefits). You should educate your wife on this and definitely research to see if you truly qualify for the current medicaid you are on.

 

By the way, this is NOT a new policy. It has always been that immigrants can not use means-tested public benefits.

Thank you for the response. The point is I don’t know too much about these government free health care system neither do my wife. But what she actually signed us on was united health care and at the time I wasn’t working and we did fall below the minimum income as a family. The person who signed me on said I do qualify and that’s the reason my wife signed me on. Maybe I need to make more enquiries and take my name off
