Correct.

To be honest, I think @AP-1 is right.......You might look at some private coverage for the 4........if they overcome the public charge consideration.......I hope for the very best for you and your family.......Good luck.  Please let us know how it turns out.

What’s the status of the beneficiaries - i.e. do they have a history of working or education or skill that they can use once in the US to become self-sufficient? Or are they likely to need to depend on you or your mom for support for the foreseeable future?

That won’t apply for an incoming immigrant.

The plan is to work and complete their education like many other immigrants do. Of course I will be helping them financially. We will support each other basically.

Even the sibling with the 2 children does not work???  How are they sustaining in their home country?

Under 21 makes it very possible they are still enrolled in an educational institution. The point you answered referred to everyone under 21.

 but for my sister although she is considered minor under the immigration laws she is not really a child anymore; since she has 2 kids herself

 

Military are exempt.... but my question is about the two minors, for your sibling which is also a Minor... what category they’re assigned too? And how this might impact on the petition and public charge rules... there’s education, medical, housing etc... I think this will be a hurdle

The minors will be derivatives of their mom’s category.

They all depend on me financially.Unemployment rate is very high in Cameroon. That’s why it was a good thing for her to come here in United States where she can easily have access to jobs and take care of her kids. I left Cameroon myself at 25, never got a chance to land a job. Here there are plenty of opportunities for everybody.

Military members are only exempt if you are applying for your spouse or kids.For other family members it’s the same rules.

F2A visa category allows beneficiaries to bring their minor kids.

There is a difference between under 21 and being a parent of two children under 21, whom you have a responsibility to provide care. 

 

It has been discussed in several VJ posts about siblings and children who have derivative children who have never been employed denied as public charge.
