Will this affect ROC? Has anybody experienced this? I have read under the USCIS website and under the new proposal that Obamacare is not considered Public Charge. I do see rumors though yet again people like to spread false information and blow things up in proportion. Don’t trust your sources unless it’s from USCIS or the DHS. Me and my wife was under Obamacare back in 2017 when she first moved here. I had a full time job but I didn’t enroll our health insurance thru my employer (looking back I should’ve). We now have insurance thru my employer btw. Any thoughts?? https://www.uscis.gov/legal-resources/proposed-change-public-charge-ground-inadmissibility

My thoughts are that it is not an issue you should be concerned with for ROC.

What exactly do you mean by Obamacare?  The creation of access via exchanges?  Some sort of subsidy?  A penalty if you don't have minimum required coverage?

YMMV

I thought that if you can get insurance through your employer, you cant use obamacare. 

I was still able to. They ask where you work and how much you make.

Does i 751 has any questions related to obamacare or public charge? If not then you will be fine as long as you are getting insurance through your employer unless they dig deep and find it.

It doesn’t count as public charge. It doesn’t say so under the USCIS website and not included under the new Proposal thru Trump. I just want to know other peoples experience with it

Simply buying insurance on an exchange is not a public means tested benefit
