Hi everyone,

 

I am helping my wife apply for the i-130 and I-485 for her father. The one question I'm not sure about is question 61 on the i-485.  "are you subject to the public charge"

 

I found this https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-g-chapter-3 website and went down to section C. But I'm not sure if United for Ukraine would apply. They are considered parolees and were offered healthcare, snap and temporary assistance by the county when they moved here. 

 

So should I select "No" on question 61?

 

Thanks everyone!

I don't see him listed as an exception.  Am I missing it?  "Yes" would be a safe answer, imo.  Otherwise, USCIS could ask for a reason why he is not subject to Public Charge.  It has happened for other people who answered "No".  As you know, most Adjust of Status applicants are subject to Public Charge.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..
