Hello Alena. Could you please clarify on the new rules/laws (??) for legal permanent residents in 2020. I have red online in somewhat reputable magazines, that LPR starting 2020 must mention in their 2019 tax return that they are LPR and their country of origin. Also failure to report the country of origin on tax return leads to possible deportation? Thank you very much in advance for your help. Have a blessed day.
Thank you for your information! We appreciate all your advice to us...and what about if my papers back with a rejection notice after 24 February for more information and I need to resubmit the petition? Do I need to submit the public charge (formulary ) with it?? Have a great day! Blessings...
There are a lot of exceptions to the PC rule. Some are categorical (like refugees and those who already have green cards), and even if immigrants who are not in the exception categories, they can use public benefits and draw it up to 12 months, in 36 consecutive months. Those who will be effected by this rule are tiny numbers of immigrants inside the US. And they can fix their situation within a few months.
Hello , how are you, i congratulate you on the good work you do on this sector , i have a question, can we change from consular processing to Adjustment of status ( AOS) , while you are in the queue awaiting for an visas appointment in the embassy overseas ( the person can travel easily ,? If yes how is the process please ?
Hello Alena. I will be grateful if you can help answer my question please. If I have kids ages 8 to 18. We have green card for past 10 months. We have medi-cal for past 9 months but has not used it. Should I cancel the medi-cal as it may be public charge?

Is any problem to affect to process our paper as a greencard. Thank you.

Hello dear Alena, This is Hayatullah Amarkhil I have a Green card here in the USA if I want to apply for foia request through lawyer what is the process your response will appreciated! Thanks.
Thank you for your lovely informations I am a winner of DV2020 and will have my interview in April normally My sponsor already sent me the affidavit of support documents And now since 24th February that’s DS 5540 came out and i can’t fill it So please i just want to know if that’s situation will affect the result of my interview?? DS 5540 isn’t for the next season DV2021?? Thank for your lovely coming back
It is my understanding that it applies to all women, pregnant or not, in consular proceedings. The lady should consult with an attorney if in doubt as there are categories who are exempt as well as time exemptions.
Alena if some one like me , for fifteen year’s as refugee my application was on pending , all my family members are citizens does it affect me public charge?
Hi I apply for i485 with positive asylum case withdrawal.already have the interview and the agent said needs the asylum case to take a desicion .can the agent send me to court because the asylum ?
Hi Im getting mixed information re whether CR1 holders with medicaid applying for IR1 removal of conditions will be affected, my state MA says they won't be affected? Thanks.
@@immigrationlawyerny Ok, thankyou. It would seem there is a real world correlation between immigration reforms in America and the UK, and the Crown global medical emergency and global travel in general? China has been a massive economic partner in purchasing U.S treasury bonds since the U.S came off the Gold standard, now clearly, there is a plan to slow importing of cheap labor, and rebuild domestic manufracturing infrastructure in the West.
Not an unreasonable rule at all. Especially considering most developed nations won’t admit or allow people to stay in their country if they are a financial burden upon society. America’s laws are not that bad compared to Australia and Japan
Hi Alena, a couple of questions. So I sponsor my wife from Vietnam, still waiting on an Interview Date. My Application was submitted to NVC Website on Feb 22, 2020. Will this Public Charge take effects on my application? Do I need to fill out the DS-5540? Also on the form it ask for spouse Healthcare and the cover date they will be cover. Do I need to get Healthcare for her before the Interview date?
She will be subject to public charge screening, correct. I am not familiar with the US consulate in Vietnam practices, but it is best if you prepare the form DS 5540 with all the attachments for the interview. See: th-cam.com/video/nDMmW39EF_k/w-d-xo.html
Our case was approved by USIC and NVC and was sent to the embassy we haven't made an interview or medical appointment yet but did submit DS160 on Feb 2nd, he is waiting for police record but our petition was in by August 27th, 2019 and approved Dec 5th, 2019 will this public charge affect our process will my fiancee need to fill out the new forms?
@@immigrationlawyerny Thank you for answering this question. I really hope that they change the policy because we have gotten all the way to this point and spent so much money that we can't get back this is so unfair.
Hlw our i130 was approved on November 2019. We got our DQ on March but did not get interview date yet as embassy is closed. My visa category CR1. My sponsor has enough income. Do we need to fill up DS 5540?
First thankyou for every thing you did .But does it afect me that my proces is at nvc that am waiting for intervew and i have 2kids my kids are americans and they are under age what do you advece me to do .

Hi my wife came through i130 and sponsored by joint sponsor can she apply for fee healthcare or it will be public charge
