Medicaid affect on sponsorship

[Abcd1234 102]

So my wife is pregnant and even though my income was above poverty level they are wanting to throw us in Medicaid for next year instead of market place,  i want to know if we stay on Medicaid for 3,4 months in 2022, would it affect my parents immigration in 2023 or 2024, even if my income goes up later in 2022? I never recieved Medicaid and am worried taking it.

  Is there a question asking about Medicaid in immigration process?

It may well affect your ability to sponsor them, yes.   Especially with being low income.

 

And what is your plan for providing them with health insurance?   They won’t be eligible for Medicare.

I am buying a buisness my income is going up considerably next year, and i can write checks and w2 for them and have them enrolled through market place, i can write 24k combined income w2s every year for my parents and can have good insurance plans...i am just thinking what affect can it possibly have if my wife goes in Medicaid for 3,4 months at beginning of next year, my plan is to sponsor my parents on basis of 2023 income and i dont plan any medicaid after april 2022

$24k is your income?   You will not be able to afford insurance for them on that.

I meant i can have them on pay roll for 24k once they have work permit, they afterwards will file their own taxes and can enroll in market place( a couple with about 24k income gets really good silver plans under marketplace), my 2023  income would be higher than 125% poverty required by uscis, my income will hit 100k in 2023...it is just that i am in process of buying a buisness so my income currently is low that may throw my wife in Medicaid during pregnancy . I as a buisness owner will have flexibility to write whatever income i would like and pay taxes on them, it is just that the process is going to take few months to close the deal on buisness , i just want to know what affect would it have if we go under medcaid for first 4 months of next year.

I am continually amazed at the number of people who are not qualified to sponsor new immigrants, yet they try to squeak through the system, knowing the financial requirements.  Folks, the immigration requires a lot of money.....

That is not my question,  i would be more than qualified income wise, and i have already sponsored before,  never been in position where my income is down for few months and pregnant wife...i don't know what kind of answer was that, if you don't know the answer just dont answer , don't be mad for people sponsoring parents,  immigration officer will look at any concerns,  you r not incharge. Don't know what you mean squeak through system

The back and forth has been amusing.  
 

I believe what you are trying to ask is whether your non citizen wife going on Medicaid counts as  public charge and thus makes her inadmissible.  
 

https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/public-charge
 

“In other words, USCIS is not considering an applicant’s receipt of Medicaid (except for long-term institutionalization at the government’s expense), public housing, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits as part of the public charge inadmissibility determination.”

Note that this is reverting to the pre Trump administration rule.  IOW Medicaid as public charge ebbs and flows.  
 

Personally I would never have gone on a Medicaid as gc holder and nor will my wife while she is still a gc holder.  I am too paranoid.  
 

Happy visa journeys.

Luckily i just found out chip and medicaid, unless it is not longterm,  is not public charge...to folks who don't like immigration,  i will take Medicaid,  and still sponsor my parents next year and yes they will also receive health insurance through market place... if it hurts you let it be, i can't help

I was making an observation in general. It was not directed at you specifically.   It is a violation of the terms of service for this web site for you to tell others no to post.

I am not saying no to post, you are trying to say i am squeaking system,  instead of staying on topic and answering question. You r the one taking about squeaking system and violating .

 But hell yea, i will take any and every gov assistance that i legally can while sponsoring,  and i cant help if it hurts someone.

Your plan will not work. It just won't.

[Boiler 45,314]

I agree that is unlikely to be an issue.

 

Medicaid limits are generally well above sponsorship requirements,

 

Is your wife a USC. sounds like it she is so not relevant anyway.

 

You do not show where you are, some States well California allows Medicaid from day one for LPR's.

 

In my mind and I know others will disagree and they have every right to do so the issue is long term, I am going to assume your Parents are coming here long term and will live a long life, now maybe they can do 40 quarters and at least be on par with everybody else, if not then could there be issues in the future, who knows. Worst case they could go home.

 

Medicaid is also sort of a loan, now I do not know if this is common but do they not go after someone's Estate when they pass?

I can have them on market place if they are not qualified for medicaid as long as they want and have some income,  which is not an issue for my buisness
