Hello everyone.

Please i have a question . I submitted my affidavit of support last month 27th of september along with financial and civil documents and still waiting the hear from Department of state.

My question : if NVC request correction for affidavit of support, do i need to submit new one ( New public charge rule )  after October 15th.

Or i will send the old version of affidavit of support ? 

Thank you so much.

There is no new I-864.  There is no Oct 15th USCIS public charge rule affecting immigrant visa applicants.  It was delayed by Federal Judges yesterday.  There is currently a Nov 4th Department of State policy stemming from a Presidential proclamation which requires immigrant visa seeker to have medical insurance within 30 days of entry into the US.

Oct 15th public charge rule-  Currently has been stayed (delayed) by federal judges.  The new I-864 and I-944 have been removed from the USCIS web site.

I just checked the department of states website. They state that they have their own guidelines about public charge rule which will go into effects on October 15th .

This new rule apply to immigrants who are trying to apply for visa or green card from abroad trough consular processing.

Can you provide the source?

 

Edit: Here's what I am seeing published Oct. 11th: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-10-11/pdf/2019-22399.pdf

Seems DOS is planning to align their FAM with the DHS rule too.

So, my understanding is that it doesn't matter whether you submitted documents before or after 15th October. If outside the USA and you are in the immigrant visa process, once Oct 15th passes, this new public charge rule will apply to you regardless. 

 

Same with the Nov 4th healthcare proclamation.

The DOS Interim Final Rule doesn't mention the I-944.

 

P.S. Did anyone download the final version of the I-944 PDF before USCIS took it down? I could only get the Google cache copy of the I-944 info page: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:4MnS9eqT234J:https://www.uscis.gov/forms/i-944+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=puffin-a And the Google cache copy of the Instructions: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:SMdGJi_zo-8J:https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-944instr-pc.pdf%3Fdownload%3D1+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Correct. They are adopting a lot of the same standards and guidelines, but no extra forms.

The page in this thread's first screenshot now gives a 404 error: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/ea/information-on-public-charge.html The Google cache copy before DOS took it down: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:TGkgRv9UvBgJ:https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/ea/information-on-public-charge.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
