My wife and I will be mailing our AOS packet (we did K1 visa) very soon, but she still doesnt have health care.

 

I am using my state's free public health care and I checked online and found out online on my state's health care website, that immigrants are allowed to apply.

 

My wife is in her 20's and in perfect health. But i would like her to have the same free public health like me.

 

That being said, if she applies ONLY for free public health, will it affect her green card status? Will she be denied??

 

thanks for your help

According to the 1999 public charge rule, "Programs (including Medicaid) supporting aliens who are institutionalized for long-term care e.g., in a nursing home or mental health institution)." May be considered for public charge.

 

According to the new one (that was suspended while COVID is on), "Most forms of federally funded Medicaid (with certain exclusions) " may be considered for public charge.

 

So, I think you need to check if your free health insurance is somehow federally funded. If it's only state funded, I believe you should be okay.

I am going to assume you are talking about Medicaid. That will have a negative affect on her immigration status.

What else would be 'free"?

And wouldn’t we all “like” to have “free public health care”. If you can’t afford yourself one questions why you are able to bring others to this country 🤷🏻‍♀️

Be careful stating this. Free public healthcare is designed for the less fortunate.

 

Your wife being a young, able bodied person means she can find employment that has health benefits. This may come back to bite you.
