Hi I am a US citizen I petitioned my husband back in 2013 uscis approved in 2014 will he be affected by the new public charge rule? His interview is in 2 weeks on the 9/19th we have 2 kids both us citizens and i receive foodstamps $30/month just me and the kids not my husband and my kids are on medicaid and I'm using the texas womens health program will this affect him in a bad way I work and I'm his sponsor we also have a joint sponsor his uncle. My husband has lived in the US for 26 years without ever using any government assistance he speaks english and has worked odd jobs for 9 years he gets paid cash because he has no social or itin so I could not put it on taxes i filed head of house.What are the chances he will be denied on public charge

The public charge rule goes into effect on 10/15.  It's a USCIS change that affects people adjusting status in the US.  It does not apply to US embassies and consulates who uses the FAM.

 

I wouldn't worry about this if your husband is of working age and can speak English.

He is currently in the US so he is adjusting status in the US he does have to go to Juarez for his interview. He speaks perfect english he has been in the US since age 6 what is the FAM meaning?

Your husband is not adjusting status in the US.  This is why he has to go to Juarez to get an immigrant visa.  

 

Foreign Affairs Manual.  USCIS and the US Consulate do not use the same rules.
