My US fiance had to have major surgery twice last year, the bill was way over $100,000, he had no health insurance and had no money to pay. It was payed by a charity I think, not sure of the details. Does this mean he was a public charge and will this go against me getting a K1 visa??? We have many things going against us I am afraid and this is just another I have thought of. We are already on day 112 waiting for NOA2. No nothing from USCIS.

Both of us have had nothing but heartache in our love loves, I guess no real love at all really, and to now find it but not be allowed to be together does seem to be a real possibilty to me with our case. I just can't stay positive any longer and I do hope my fiance does not read this, I am only pretending to be positive for him now.

This shouldn't affect your application because the public charge provision applies to the non-USC fiance and not the USC. If the bill was paid, why would you be worried?

Does he earn enough to make 125% of the poverty line? If not, he'll need a cosponsor. Make sure you prepare for that.

Thanks so much ufkenmill for you fast reply. One less worry. And yes he does earn enough, he had only let his health insurance go cause his kids went on to their mothers insurance then and they were charging him too much for his.

Thanks again,

Stella.
