Before Trump, it wasn't a problem. The first question the officer asked me was if I'm on food stamps. I said no, and he said "good." My father got noid; he had to find another sponsor besides his wife.

I don’t know, but from my perspective I wouldn’t want people that are on government assistance bringing in people they can’t support or can’t support themselves. that makes zero sense

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 so find a joint sponsor. sponsoring spouse being unemployed isn't any worse

@God in control cash assistance is a big problem, that's one of the 2 things that's a problem to be on. However that isn't necessarily mean you'll be denied, there's other factors to it. You will have to write on the I-485 though that you received cash assistance

Medicaid federal or state is totally fine

@in the Jesus name amen the noid said because of Foodstamps?

that's clearly against the law, they aren't able to reject someone due for foodstamps, officers don't make the law, they have to follow the policy manual.

they can get sued

@Green buzz umm , they can deny you.. that's why there is an affidavit of support .. lol

@K 🇹🇹🏳️‍🌈 did you read the manual policy? The process of immigration isn't logical, it's based upon very specific laws. according to the law they can't deny you because of Foodstamps. affidavit of support is only for cash assistance and long term hospitalizations.

@Green buzz I did but why support bringing someone here if you are on food stamps that's wild 😂

@Green buzz - Actually this is what the actual law states about the affidavit of support. ***Please nobody let a random stranger on the internet try to scam you into filling out your immigration forms. This is your personal information. Form I-864, Affidavit of Support under Section 213A of the INA, is a contract an individual signs agreeing to use their financial resources to support the intending immigrant named on the affidavit. The individual who signs the affidavit of support becomes the sponsor once the intending immigrant becomes a lawful permanent resident. The sponsor is usually the petitioner who filed an immigrant petition on behalf of the intending immigrant. An affidavit of support is a legally enforceable contract, and the sponsor’s responsibility usually lasts until the family member or other individual either becomes a U.S. citizen, or is credited with 40 quarters of work (usually 10 years). The law concerning the affidavit of support is found in Sections 212(a)(4) and 213A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The provisions are codified in Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 8 CFR 213a.a

@Patiently Waiting I'm referring to the USCIS policy manual

@K 🇹🇹🏳️‍🌈 why is it wild? because I have no money, my spouse can't live in the USA?

@Green buzz with all due respect , if you not meeting the financial requirements and on food stamps you DEFINITELY should not be voicing an opinion about law markers not bending the laws for other people to bring more ppl here to live off of PUBLIC BENEFITS worst yet you even trying to be a self proclaimed lawyer on this app is CRAZY 😫 For a fraction of the price

some of these comments are upsetting. so what someone is on food stamps. Does that mean they can’t be with the love of their life? eventually the spouse will be able to work and bring their share in the home and maybe the family won’t need to be on food stamps in the future.

@God in control cash assistance is a big problem in your process 🥲🥲🥲

@Patiently Waiting what about if your USC spouse on SSI disability because of health issues but you have good joint sponsor and plus Beneficiary spouse work 40 hours a week and pay all and support there USC spouse financially. there is any issue please I need advice,

@Singh USA 🇺🇸 - If you have a joint sponsor that can prove they can support the beneficiary then you should be totally fine. Unfortunately the beneficiaries income doesn’t count, it’s all about the sponsor.

@Patiently Waiting why not if work permits approval Through the pending I-485 then beneficiary income need to be count and I file Tex jointly with USC spouse,I mean that is plus points right ,

@Singh USA 🇺🇸 - No it doesn’t count period.

@Singh USA 🇺🇸 - These are the rules and they don’t bend them for anybody. They give the beneficiary a temporary work permit so they don’t become a tax burden while they’re waiting on a decision.

@Patiently Waiting so I m working and paying Tex for nothing then what is the benefit for my work , I m thinking I can add my new and more evidence on my uscis account if they never counted then I need to upload our not ???

@Singh USA 🇺🇸 income from the immigrant does count at times with some conditions, read the rules on the I-864 and read the USCIS policy manual

@Singh USA 🇺🇸 your paying taxes because that's the law. it's not connected to immigration.

@Green buzz so can i upload my new evidence on my uscis account so it can be puss my case , like joint tex and joint bank statement new one ???

it has to be sent in during the initial stage of applying
