At 32 suggests the Mother could be approaching retirement so I assume not much opportunity for her to increase her income, and is presumably minimum wage or close to it.

 

No mention of a Husband, divorced?, also no mention of child support. No mention of any savings.

 

Does beg the question what level of income is required to support a family of 3 and pay School fees, child care etc. 

 

This is not under the new rules and I can think of a case where there seemed to be a low income potential with a large family which was refused but this one is one step beyond.

 

All I can think of is getting a job showing that you have transferable skills and could earn an adequate income in the US.

They aren't in effect yet actually (both the DHS rule and new proclamation). This likely relates to the FAM changes from early 2018, if anything.

How old are your kids?

 

I could see why they worry! Who would be paying for the 3 of you for medical insurance? Assuming you will be living with your mom so your expenses for rent and so on would be little. But part time jobs often don't give you any benefits. And also paying for school out of that.

Hello All,

 

I am new here. Heard great things about this site. I am so confused and lost. I recently went for an interview and was denied . I received this letter here is there any evidence or anything I can do to submit for review? I am 32 years of age with 2 children and my Mother petitioned for me . My cousin sponsored us. I believe it has something to do with me never holding a job. I do have plans to go to school if granted admittance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you in advance

Quite frankly - reading what you have said and what the letter says - I think the only way you can allay this (in other words, the evidence of the significant change in circumstances they want to see) is by getting a job at home first, and showing you can support yourself and your children without help from your family. You'd probably need to build up some kind of history of this, I'd guess at least a year? That may make a CO more comfortable that the same will happen once you move to the US.

In the US it takes more than a part-time job to support yourself, much less a family. Many people here work multiple jobs and still barely get by. 

You are going to need some job skills to show you can be employed when you get here in a job that will support two children. Health insurance alone will be very expensive.

Exactly. OP needs to think about a skillset that is transferrable to the US and can support you and your children. I think once you have that track record to show them, that’s when you come back

The determination of public charge for an immigrant visa is made at the embassy.  The determination of public charge for an AOS application is made at the AOS filing stage.  It’s October.  The rules are in place.  They are not new rules.  They have started enforcing the law.

I read an analysis that indicated that approximately 2/3 of applications will potentially be rejected.

Right, but 76% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

I'm not seeing the relationship between it being October and any changes to any rules.

I read one that said 98% actually (not kidding).

...I don't believe it, though 😆

This is a very opportune time to be an immigration lawyer. There are lawyers who have made upwards of a million dollars in less than a year.
