the new rule goes into effect December 23, 2022 for petitions dated on that date or after

 

 

its 168 pages of read and i have read and reread as it's like all other legal documents a hard read /goes back and forth from the 1999 rule to the 2019 rule to this new one

It's a long read and i am only part way thru 

 

On August 14, 2019, DHS issued a different rule on this topic, Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds Final Rule (2019 Final Rule), which is no longer in effect. This rule implements a different policy than the 2019 Final Rule.
