I agree, not sure why so many are misinterpreting the question when it is very clear in the instructions. The answer should be YES and then as you said, answer NO to having used public benefits. Here I also added supporting evidence of the applicant have a college degree to establish a profile that is convincing to the USCIS officer in understanding they are not likely to become a public charge. This is like the medical exam, all applicants are subject, I'm sure there's exception, but its the same logic. You are ultimately trying to establish that you will be a contribution to the economy and not a burden, that is the entire purpose of the I-864 and it has to be interpreted in that context. I'm sure for everyone submitting with NO and still being accepted, is just some flexibility by USCIS because of the confusion around interpretation. B. Applicants for Adjustment of Status Unless they are specifically exempt from the public charge ground of inadmissibility, the public charge ground of inadmissibility will generally apply to all applicants for adjustment of status, including, but not limited to: Family-based applicants; Employment-based applicants; and Diversity visa applicants. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-g-chapter-3

I do not agree with answering no, it's a misinterpretation of the question. All the form is asking is, are you subject to it, and the only way you wouldn't be subject is if you are exempt. B. Applicants for Adjustment of Status Unless they are specifically exempt from the public charge ground of inadmissibility, the public charge ground of inadmissibility will generally apply to all applicants for adjustment of status, including, but not limited to: Family-based applicants; Employment-based applicants; and Diversity visa applicants.

SSN in the mail on 12/13 EAD Picked up by USPS 12/13 - Expected Delivery 12/15

My mom also received SSN today but not the EAD yet, status was Card Was Produced on December 10th so hoping it comes in the mail soon.

How long from Card is being produced to receiving your EAD in the mail?

Yeah no problem!

No nothing, just provided that reason on the chat, email phone number and thats it.

Only said the truth, my mom's situation changed and she was experiencing increasing financial hardship. Thats it.

Did you try the expedite request through Emma? I did request it on 12/2 and received EAD approval on 12/6 (Card Being Produced).

Also, I should point out that my I-130 for my mom had a priority date of Jan 7, 2022 so probably that caused the biometrics to be scheduled sooner. I filed the AOS packet with the I-130 receipt and the I-485 now shows PD 01/07/2022 so that's why its moving faster my friend. Hang in there, have faith it'll all happen at the right time.

Are you able to submit an expedite request or call to ask why the delay? Walk-in biometrics done in Charlotte, NC.

Biometrics appointment scheduled on 11/26 for 12/12. Case received on 11/16
