Hi everyone,
This morning I learnt that the form i-944, public charge rule, was dismissed starting on March 9th 2021.
I literally got tears to my eyes from how frustrated I felt.
I sent my application for AOS in June 2020 and it was rejected in August because of that form not being included (we didn't know about it when we filed). Then we filed again right away WITHOUT that form because it was not required anymore and in NOVEMBER 2020 we got a RFE asking to mail that form, (uscis resumed it once again) that we sent in January 2021 cause it takes forever to put together all the (removed)they require.
So, a total of almost 8 MONTHS wasted because of that (removed) form.
And now it has been permanently dismissed!!!!!!!!
And here I am, can't work, can't get a driving license, can't go visit my family because of that delay.
(I still haven't gotten my ead+AP card!!)
And in the meantime I had a daughter, which means that every time that I need to go buy groceries or to the pediatrician, I have to walk as I can't drive.
We're talking of 6-7-8-9 miles on foot when it's 90-100 outside (I'm in California).
Not to mention that I can't contribute to the family finances and that my father had a cerebral stroke and I couldn't go visit him.
And also that nobody from my family has seen my daughter yet.
All that because of that stupid i-944 form.
Which is not required anymore.
I really wanna cry now.
This post is probably useless, but I guess what I'm hoping for is some support and to know weather anybody else had similar experience and how you guys are dealing with them.
Thank you all
