It depends where you are as it varies by courthouse, when we got ours done we had the certificate instantly after the ceremony, maybe look around in nearby counties to see if they offer this or call them and see if theyll do it on request.

 

Ohh thank you

Nvc approved my case and got the interview date. But they have mentioned about this "PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION ON HEALTH CARE: On October 4, 2019, the President issued Presidential Proclamation 9945 on the "Suspension of Entry of Immigrants Who Will Financially Burden the United States Healthcare System." For the most up to date information on how PP 9945 might affect your case, please visit https://travel.state.gov/healthcare."

Can anyone help me understand this? can they denied my case because of this? Do I need to have any additional documents for this?

 

Thank you so much for help.

The understanding is:

 

The proclamation is not currently active pending court review.

 

You don’t need to provide any additional evidence beyond the standard I-864 and evidence for public charge related things unless otherwise specified by your consulate.

Hi,

Can someone help me to understand the filing cutoff of using old vs new form please?

Is it counting toward the submission of both I-864 & Ds-260 forms only even I don't have any supporting document in this submission such as tax transcript? I am still waiting for IRS to give me the logon key in mail. I won't have the transcript by Feb 24.

The @ thing does not work, putting aside the argument about what the Public Charge issue should be seems logical that whatever it is it should apply to all.

Thanks for the update. We'll see if it actually happens or not by that deadline.

I have 10 yrs green card. Im worry about new public charge affect my future N400 application. I received medicaid for 1 years due to low income, no other public benefit

If Im traveling outside of US for more than 1 year with reentry permit, when Im coming back, will the new public charge apply for my admission to the US? Will the CBP officer ask about my medicaid application?

 

Thanks guy

[SusieQQQ 11,586]

Public charge will apply for readmission in that situation to my understanding, as longer than 180 days out out makes you an applicant for admission*. No-one can tell you what CBP will or won't ask about.

It doesn't matter for N400.

 

 

* From the guidelines on USCIS page: While most lawful permanent residents are not subject to inadmissibility determinations, including public charge inadmissibility, upon their return from a trip abroad, some lawful permanent residents can be subject to the public charge ground of inadmissibility because specific circumstances dictate that they be considered applicants for admission.

I saw this on a website (not official government site) . I’m unsure how long you’ve been in the US or on what grounds you will apply for N400 but make sure you’ve spent enough time in the US (as time outside does not count) 🙂 while applying for naturalization

 

Congress states that a permanent resident can only be deported on public-charge grounds within the first five years of obtaining their green card — and only if they became a public charge based on circumstances that existed before they obtained their green card. (For example, a healthy person who obtains a green card, gets in an accident, and then needs government assistance would not be deportable on public-charge grounds.)

That’s deportation. OP is worried about readmission. Not the same thing. 
 

if it’s the naturalization aspect you’re trying to address, you should  note that uscis clearly says public charge does not apply to naturalization proceedings. Time is not relevant.

Will joint sponsors no longer be weighed much at all? My wife is applying for CR1 and is below the poverty level. Will her being below the 125% level without a joint sponsors automatically disqualify her? The joint sponsor is easily above the 250% level, but will that be taken into account? My income falls under the Foreign Income Exclusion so the total income shows as 0 and I am worried she will be rejected due to these changes.

I have seen nothing to indicate that joint sponsors are being eliminated...........but it would certainly have a major effect on fiance and spousal visas.....

So should I worry about readmission for staying outside of the US for more than 6 months?

In california there is no 5 years ban for medicaid for green card holder, so technically I could get medicaid in california. However, im just so worry about public charge rule so i dont know should I apply or opt out of medicaid.
