AOS and Public Charge rule(Credit Card Debt )

[faustt 24]

Hello.

 

I am finalizing my concurrent filing of I-130 and I-485 after I got married with my green card holder wife. My question is regarding the public charge rule. I am an asylum applicant myself and me an my wife makes $65000 annually and both of us are insured. I have a job at very reputable company in US(one of the top 3) but last year I had to take care of my family of 6 alone since they were also without employment. Luckily, they are granted Asylee status but my case is still pending for its initial interview.

 

My question is I have a car loan and $17.000 credit card debt occurred during my support for my family. I did not skip any payment so none of them were past due. However, my credit score is at 570s. 

 

It has been very hard for me last year but I never thought this rule would affect me. 

 

I am hesitant about this rule and seeking your advice.

I don't think you should have any problems at all as you are showing the supporting documentation that you haven't skip any payments. This should be able to proof your commitment to your U.S debts, most of us, immigrants, needs to have certain kind of debt to be able to adapt in the country and that's understandable but what matter is if you pay your bills on time.
