Not sure if this is the right forum for my question, but my wife is a green card holder, me and our 2 children are US citizens, we live in California. Is it okay for my wife to receive public benefits(SNAP, Medi-Cal, etc.)? We quality based on income, and the State of California is okay with it (they're even given to undocumented immigrant now), but would there be issues with USCIS about me and my joint sponsor having to pay back means-tested benefit as stated on the affidavit of support?

My wife just got her IR1, and we are planning to move to the US on Jan. 2024. As an LPR I know she has to file US taxes, as well as FBAR(as she has foreign bank accounts with more than $10k). My question is when does she have to start filing? Does she have to file right away(for year 2023)? or wait till the following year after arriving in the US to file(for year 2024)?
