Filing for AOS before October 14th 2019 worth it?

[Loren Y 2,755]

I speak from recent experience, you do not want to be the Guinea pig on some new process, form or questions that come about for AOS process. I would make a serious effort to have it delivered in time to avoid it.

Hello, I see some rules are changing on October 14th, 2019 for the I-864.

Is it worth it filing before that date? Or the new "public charge" rules will apply regardless of the filing date?

 

I have all documents ready and will get married in a couple days, now I am trying to figure out if I should rush it a little but or if it doesn't matter.

 

thanks

My understanding is it applies to green cards issued post oct 15th.. making filing date null an void... unless I’m mistaken
