I understand but I think it's horribly unfair. The way I see it is the fact that a USC has used state health insurance has no bearing on whether the immigrant spouse will. Perhaps the spouse living here and working is what can help the USC get off government insurance. Everyone has different circumstances and it just may be that the immigrant spouse can get a better job with benifits than the USC can. So why is that not taken into account, know what I mean?

It is taken into account, per the FAM. The applicant's age, education, work history, etc. are factors in determining if they will or won't become a public charge.

At the same time, a suitable sponsor is necessary both for the event that they do not actually obtain employment as well as for accountability (in case they do become a public charge and benefits need to be repaid to the government).

Somebody with a strong work history in a transferable field is different than somebody who is immigrating without much of a work history and will likely be dependent on the sponsor for support.

it is a loop hole to stop immigrants from poor countries. 

 An average person in Australia is richer than an average person from somalia. 

This isn’t about earnings in Australia or Somalia.. I have no idea why you seem to think it is. 

 

this is about health care in the USA and Americans purchasing health care and getting off Medicaid in order to act as a sponsor for someone from another country, ALL COUNTRIES and then ensuring that that person also has health care. 

 

It’s About Suitability Of Sponsors.. the whole richer in Australia vs Somalia thing is irrelevant... rich or poor country.. it’s about the petitioner! NOT BENEFICIARY

so the whole Australia/Somalia comment is not relevant to the topic.. 

yes an average european/australian can earn higher compared to some one in asia/africa.  applying the same rules for everyone means its a indiscriminate bias towards immigrants from rich countries. You seem to miss the entire point

I wouldn’t say asians earn less than Aussies.. they’re highly educated, and dependent on what part of Africa your in, there’s big money to be made there too.. you really need to go read what it’s actually talking about in ref to Medicaid.. you’re way off the mark if you think it’s about the immigrant other than their not being able to find a suitable sponsor

How much somebody earns in their home country doesn't matter. Their work history, education, and general earning potential once in the US are factors.

For instance, an RN in PH makes extremely little. An RN in, say, the UK makes a much higher wage. Both are equal in the US for doing the same job with the same experience. There may or may not be differences in licensing processes to get on equal footing in terms of credentials (due to English language requirements, NCLEX usage, etc.).

And RN wages in the US are even higher, with huge regional disparities.  RN hourly wages on the West Coast for example, are double what they are in much of the rest of the country.  Same credentials required of all....
