In this video, we explain the Department of Homeland Security’s proposal to revive and strengthen the public charge rule, a policy that could affect certain immigrants who are applying for permanent residency if they receive public benefits for extended time periods.
It is important to note that this is not yet law, but rather a proposal. This is not a time to panic, but it is a time to stay informed, especially if you are in the process of applying for residency or plan to begin the process.
Receiving certain types of government assistance could influence your case in the future, so it is key to understand how this policy works and who could be affected.
If you have questions about public charge or any immigration process, our team is ready to assist you.
