But the question on the DS5540 Form is more likely asking people who is living in the U.S than outside

Yes but it is for the beneficiary regardless inside or outside the US. They want to know if the beneficiary will have insurance within 30 days of arriving in the US as well as if the beneficiary has a job lined up and what the salary will be among other questions

Yes the beneficiary. Mark “no” where it asks if he has filled out taxes in the US the last 3 years

Thank you. And for income ? I mean Cuban doctors barely make 40 dollars a month. He works in a factory makes not even 20 a month.

Hi everyone, I emailed our consulate this morning to ask if they are requiring DS5540 at interviews even for those DQ before Feb 24 and they are requiring it now. I would contact your consulate to find out as well and/or bring the form with you just in case.

Where could you even find this form? I never heard of it until just a second ago on the forum and I got DQ 26th of February.

Seems odd that they are supposedly asking for it at the consular level considering it states that it's asked for at the USCIS stage: 

 

https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/public-charge

 

On Feb. 24, 2020, USCIS is implemented the Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds final rule nationwide, including in Illinois. USCIS will apply the final rule to all applications and petitions postmarked (or, if applicable, submitted electronically) on or after that date. For applications and petitions sent by commercial courier (for example, UPS, FedEx, or DHL), the postmark date is the date reflected on the courier receipt. USCIS will reject any affected application or petition that does not adhere to the final rule, including those submitted by or on behalf of aliens living in Illinois, if postmarked on or after Feb. 24, 2020.  

 

If you've received your USCIS approval and have moved on to NVC stage, it shouldn't apply.  

 

Additionally, the proclamation on health care is still suspended.

DHS and DOS are two separate entities. USCIS is part of DHS and NVC and consular level is DOS. DOS has now also implemented the rule meaning it’s now also required at NVC and interview. NVC already has a document space for the DS5540 and like I said, I emailed the consulate they informed me it is also applied to the consular level for all interviews as well
