why the heck do they need this form i-944 for anyway?

Was the RFE issued before or after Dec. 2, 2020? New Jersey is a Plaintiff in the case I mentioned in one of my posts above.

mine was before December, in November 2020. Yeah NJ is a plaintiff in the case related to the preliminary injunction granted on December 2nd that blocks the new public charge rule, but because that's not a final decision yet, it's still very uncertain, the dhs can appeal still, so unless a final decision comes along, i'm gonna have to file the i-944 😕

Since no one yet knows how this "tennis match" would ultimately play out, complying with I-944 RFE is a good call.

I was asking to potentially see how USCIS has reacted behind-the-scenes to the Dec. 2 decision. In the past few weeks since the decision I've only heard about I-944 RFE for applicants in non-Plaintiff states (e.g. Florida, New York, Tennessee, etc.). There's still no official update on uscis.gov about Dec. 2 decicion: https://www.uscis.gov/news/all-news

I know right? That's what I wonder too. I have googled the heck out of this since I learned about the injunction of Dec. 2, to see if anybody knows anything about this whole mess and I even tried to call USCIS, but no success. USCIS keeps hanging up on me when I keep asking the bot to let me talk to a representative. 

 

Basically, it seems that the DHS have 45 days to counter appeal this decision and I guess in the meantime USCIS will just pretend nothing happened lol while everyone in my situation has to stress and shed a lot of money to obtain the pile of documents and evidence that the form i-944 requires anyway.

Thats why i was surprise, I received my RFE last month and two days ago we received the appointment for biometrics for my wife and son. So I'm not sure, wouldn't the case be on hold until i-944 is filled out and sent out. Also my son never received his RFE for i-944 request.

Are you in one of the plaintiff states (re: the preliminary injunction of dec. 02) ?

Biometrics are mainly for background check, it's not necessarily tied to the interview. Before covid it was common to have biometrics within the first month after applying.

a background check after you already in the states? I mean what was the point of her K1 Visa paperwork? you would think they would want to make sure they know of your background before stepping into the country and staying.
