Hi all,

My wife was on the USCIS website looking for information on the I-944 when she found this:

"Applicants and petitioners whose applications or petitions are postmarked on or after July 29, 2020, should not include the Form I-944 or provide information about the receipt of public benefits on Form I-485, Form I-129, Form I-129CW, Form I-539, or Form I-539A.

USCIS will issue guidance regarding the use of affected forms. In the interim, USCIS will not reject any Form I-485 on the basis of the inclusion or exclusion of Form I-944, nor Forms I-129 and I-539 based on whether Part 6, or Part 5, respectively, has been completed or left blank.

In any public charge inadmissibility determination, USCIS will consider the receipt of public benefits consistently with prior public charge guidance....."

And she tried to look for the I-944 form and it's suddenly nonexistent? What's going on?

This is found at this link:

https://www.uscis.gov/i-485

Does that mean we no longer have to do the I-944?

Few questions about I-485

1. Part 1 #24

"What is your current immigration status (if it has changed since your arrival)?"

She arrived on Feburary 20 of this year. We got married in April. Her I-94/K-1 Visa expired in May. So she is overstaying right now. We have read countless posts here in VisaJourney with so many conflicting answers.

Do we list her as out of status because she is overstaying right now? Or do we list her status as unchanged because we married within 90 days?

We even tried checking her case status on the USCIS website, but it hasn't been updated since our I-129F got approved.

2. Part 1 #25

It asked for my wife's name exactly as it appears on her Form I-94. That shouldn't be a problem, but her first name is misspelled with two letters missing. Do we write down the mispelled name that is listed in the I-94 form or do we write her ACTUAL name? We are probably over-thinking this, lol.

3. Part 8 #17

"Have you EVER violated the terms or conditions of your nonimmigrant status? Yes or No"

As mentioned above, my wife and I got married within 90 days. But we haven't filed our AOS yet so that means she is overstaying. We read so many conflicting answers here. Do we check YES because she is overstaying and we haven't filed the AOS? Or do we check NO because we married within 90 days?

Many thanks!

Unsure about two questions on I-944

1. Part 3 #18 Public Benefits

What does it mean to be certified in receiving public benefits? We are not getting any public benefits at all but I don t know the difference between receiving public benefits and certified to receive public benefits Any thoughts?

2. Part 4 #4

It asked for occupational skills. My wife studied architecture for a very long time, so she didn t have time to train and/or develop various occupational skills. So we are going to fill this area out with N/A but we are wondering if it will affect her chances of getting her AOS approved?

Many thanks!
