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 filing lawsuits since 2017

Sounds like you were denied correctly. They didn't want you to become a public charge. And the same for me, I don't want to pay for your kids and healthcare from my taxes. Once you're able to support yourself, you can try to apply again.

Maybe focus on getting your education and skills first, and then try for a visa?

Totally agree ☝️ 

 

At 32, is there any reason why you’ve never had a job or gone uni?

Maybe she was a home maker taking care of her home and family.

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.

They are new rules that went in effect in January 2018. The law has always been enforced maybe not to your liking but it has been enforced.

If he can get two psycho kids off death row with a 12 hour closing address, then I'm sure he could win this case LOL

Go back to college,have a career,work in your Country and in the future you probably  will be able to show them that you can financially support yourself and your family.

Doesn't matter if they win. They still get paid....

The OP can pursue a trade school or other technical skill set at an accredited school in Jamaica. Instead of having to wait 4 years (or longer) to get a Bachelors, they could study and gain employment in a trade such as welding, coding or other technical skill that can be studied in a year or two. My point is most university degrees from overseas don't have the accreditation to transfer to a US employer, but I can see a trade or skill transferring, as well as work experience. Instead of being negative on the OP, let's try to be constructive on how they can overcome this public charge denial. I can't imagine going through this process only to be hit with a denial in the final stages... And with the new rules coming out we will see similar cases more frequently.

I suspect just holding down a job as an admin of some kind for at least six months would demonstrate to the government one's ability to support themselves.

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

I think if your cousin or mother can get a letter from a potential employer, it might help.

I would argue the reverse of this, I have both and found my Masters was recognised everywhere because they are internationally linked (academically speaking)... my trade however, see’s me having to return to school and get various upgrades because y’all use different equipment, measurements etc..you also use different trade codes which makes lining it up with us trades very tricky

 

either way however, I think having either a trade or uni degree will hold you in good stead for finding work especially if you have the expertise to back it up.

I fully understand now
