I would keep excellent notes, and seek out the best immigration attorney you can find, ASAP!

It would be a waste of money: Her husband left the country before AP. Case closed (for USCIS). There is no way around this.

It's amazing how many questions can be resolved with a 2 minute Google search...

OP:

I can't help you on what to do via Immigration, but most states will provide assistance with childcare, based on your income, and depending on your family size you may qualify for other state assistance. Food Stamps and Income base Child care is not considered "welfare", it's an Income Base Assistance Plan.

Myth #4: SNAP benefits go to undocumented immigrants.

FACT: Undocumented immigrants have never been eligible for SNAP. Documented immigrants can only get food stamps if they've lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with exceptions for refugees, asylees and children). In fact, immigrants are far less likely to apply for food stamps because they worry about jeopardizing their immigration status and because the application process is especially daunting for non-English speakers.
Important: SNAP is a nutrition program run by the USDA and is not considered a welfare program. Receiving SNAP benefits will not affect a documented immigrant’s immigration status or any effort to gain U.S. citizenship.

The United States government makes available public benefits for people who need help with food, healthcare, and day-to-day expenses. To qualify for each of these benefits, you have to meet certain income, resource and/or health requirements.

Some immigrants qualify for major public benefits programs. Depending on your status, you could qualify for healthcare, food stamps, cash assistance, low-cost housing, energy assistance, and child care assistance.

It is important to know that U.S. citizen children of immigrant parents have the same rights to public benefits as all other citizens - regardless of the immigration status of their parents. For example, undocumented parents may apply for public benefits for their U.S. citizen children. When applying, be clear that you are applying only for your children, and not for yourself. You should not have to reveal your own immigration status if you are applying for benefits only for your children and not yourself. If you feel you must mention something about your immigration status, it is best to state simply that you do not have an immigration status which qualifies you to obtain benefits. You should not ever feel you have to reveal that you are undocumented. Never show the welfare office proof that you are residing unlawfully in the country, such as an order of deportation against you.

Quick question that I can't seem clearly addressed elsewhere:

We are going to file an i-824 to have his case moved to the UK. My questions:

  1. Since the i-485 is abandoned, the thing we're "transferring" is just his approved i-130, right? So I use those receipt numbers/approval codes?
  2. Is there anything else I file to withdraw the i-485?
  3. I should choose option "D" On the form, yes? But then how does it get to the UK?

Thanks in advance, and let me know if I should post this elsewhere, too.
