CarlHamilton my question is that would these changes impact people applying for removal of conditions I751 and N-400?

 

It clearly doesn't apply to naturalization (N400); not sure about the removal of conditions - the rule talks about adjustment of status, I can see arguments on both sides.

Does anyone know how this would affect immigrants who are on Obamacare? I am on my husband's Obamacare (after checking with our lawyer that it would be okay, as I wasn't sure about the public charge rule, and he said yes because it's not a cash benefit). Would this affect my pending I-485 or only future citizenship? Would I need to get off Obamacare and then it would be fine? It seems kind of crazy to just change the rule that people were following and then punish them for breaking that rule?

No.  Obamacare is a Federal Law for which you qualify -- it is not a welfare program.  

 

I am fairly confident that this will not present a problem for your I-485 Application.  

 

Through the I-485, your lawyer must have files also a I-864, Affidavit of Support, where the affiant contracts with the U.S. Government to indemnify the U.S. Government if the client, in this case, you, ever become a financial burden to the U.S. Government.  Obamacare would not affect any of your Citizenship process as long as it was not acquired fraudulently. 

 

I hope that this helps, but if you have any questions, feel free to follow up!

You already have a green card albeit a conditional one. There is no public charge determinations during removal of conditions.

Can you point to where the laws or regulations say this?  I understand your logic, but I wouldn't assume anything without a specific legal provision.
