  1. Thanks
    Taxingprocesses got a reaction from Mrs. DPK in question about the new public charge rule and I485 adjustment of status   
    When you filed your parents as dependents you told the IRS that you provide over 50% of their support. You said yourself you did this to save money. Then you left your parents off your household for the AOS forms, which specifically say household must include tax dependents.   
     
    2 does not equal 4.  I understand this process is stressful and frustrating, but it's very important to be accurate.  It's not stupid to reject forms that aren't filled out correctly.  They have to process thousands of pieces of paperwork and if they get conflicting info they may just have to tell the person to start over because they won't have time to help everyone figure it out.  The forms have very detailed instructions online for you to DIY.  
     
    It sounds like you are very worried about your wife's status.  Once your wife's i-485 is accepted she will not be out of status while it processes.  So you just need to get your application submitted correctly.  Take a breath, work on it slowly and fill out the forms carefully and accurately.  Don't make guesses about what you think matters or not, read the form and list exactly what they ask for.  Ask questions here is you're unsure.  You can do it!
     
    Once the packet is accepted you will have some time while it processes.  Regarding the public charge issue, this form is still very new and I'm not sure anyone will know exactly how USCIS will view your parents using SNAP.
     
    Amending your taxes or moving to a new house without your parents are big steps and will take time so I'm not sure it's a good idea to wait to do those things before filing the AOS.  Especially because it's not clear if either one would change USCIS views since they will have the previous applications on file.
     
     
    It does seem a bit strange to have your parents as tax dependents and meet the household income requirements for USCIS AND have them getting SNAP.  Are you sure they filled out their application correctly?
     
    Do you share food with your parents or cook and eat meals together?  Because if so they must report household income for all people who shop and prepare food together.  You might want to look into this to just to be sure you are within the rules all around.  They could owe $$ back and the state may investigate if they knowingly lied.  But as long as they didn't commit a crime, if they aren't eligible and pay back any overpayment then it might be better from a public charge perspective?
