Consular Public Charge changes on hold

[artcodex 28]

For all those wonder about the consular public charge rule change that was made on October 11, 2019 and made effective on October 15, 2019, it is on hold until new forms are available for questioning (This is not news).

 

HOWEVER, today the department of state just announced that this process will take 60 day period:

 

Although the effective date of the interim final rule is October 15, 2019, the Department will not implement the rule until the use of a new form for information collection is approved by the Office of Management and Budget.  On October 24, 2019, the Department published a 60-Day Notice of Proposed Information Collection for its Public Charge Questionnaire, which is a necessary step to have the new information collection approved. 

 

So for anyone wondering on what this looks like in the short term, here above is answer, the Jan 2018 changes are currently the law of the land until this is resolved.
