Hello everyone, 

 

I am currently on AOS from K1, filled it at the end of January, had my Biometrics taken, but apart from that I'm still waiting. 

 

I live in NYC, which has a specific (and amazing) healthcare program for immigrants and other people who cannot get health insurance. It's called NYC Care, and in addition to emergency Medicaid, i can also have access to health care (appointments, prescriptions, etc) at no or very little cost (as I currently have no income because I'm still waiting for mr work authorization). I have just recently heard about the "Public Charge" Rule that has been implemented recently, and I was wondering whether the fact that I am registered for emergency Medicaid and NYC Care will negatively impact my application for a Green Card? I know the Mayor has made a statement saying any immigrants that need medical assistance due to COVID 19 will not be judged under this new public charge rule, but not sure if this rule will affect me if I use the health care system for any non-Covid 19 issue?  I have not made use of the services yet, haven't gone to any medical appointments or anything as I didn't need anything so far, but I am registered in the system. 

 

Thank you and hope you're all staying safe!
