Final public charge rule

[vkrishn 97]

I am totally not clear about this rule. 

 

So lets say i apply I-130 for my mother and go through the process (NVC, Consulate interview etc)  of bringing her to California as an LPR then 

1. Should she sign a declaration stating that she will not use even California sponsored health subsidy like Medi-cal at the consulate during the interview? 

2. Is california sponsored Medi-cal part of the public charge rule? 

3. Lets say i do indicate that i will sponsor her health coverage during the time of interview and Covered California allows my mother to use medi-cal then will she be deported after coming to CA if she uses medi-cal? 

 

My friend's mother in law is on medi-cal where she does not pay any premium and files taxes (no income) but lives with my firend and his family in the same house. Seems to be working for them. I was under the impression i could do the same. Isn't that the case anymore? 

 

Appreciate any suggestions/response. 

 

Thanks

I wonder if this new rule going to negatively affect applicants who had to use joint sponsor with the potential of immigration officer  assuming that petitioner income alone isn’t sufficient to support the applicant & there by he or she could be a public charge in the future.  ?

If you already applied for AOS it wont affect you.

Apart from all of that, by the way, I don't believe there should be a public charge rule at all. If immigrants pay taxes, they should be able to access public services. Our public services are such a disaster that I can't imagine anyone willfully relying on them if they didn't have to. The idea that people immigrating are pernicious freeloaders is preposterous. Do you think everyone besides you is trying to spend loads of money and time immigrating just to cheat and live the cushy life of SNAP benefits and Medicaid? 

 

Try to access common sense, generosity and compassion simultaneously. It would change your life. 

Please come back to real world. Seems like you are in a dream. The common sense you are talking about wont last long in real world. With your model, soon we will have more people on public benefits than people who actually pay taxes.

And how are you reaching that conclusion?
