No more I-944, thank you Joe Biden!
Just now, the supreme court dismissed a case concerning the self sufficient form I-944. Acting solicitor general Elizabeth Prelogar told the justices that both sides had agreed that the challenge brought by the former Trump administration should be dismissed, and the court did so! Having that said, that clears the way for the Biden administration to rescind the rule which makes it no longer valid., basically the rule will be blocked while the current administration continues its review process and decides what the new rule will be.
The USCIS website will probably be updated soon.
These are amazing news.
Me personally I was so worried about this form. This form wasn't about who uses benefits or what not, this form was a wealth test and we all know it!
So relieved!

Jonathan SandiMar 10, 2021
@What? LOL did they ask you that? My friend was asked to remove his wedding ring to see if he had a "ring Shadow". Crazy!

All be careful with the headline here, DHS and USCIS will provide additional update on Public Charge Rule and yes it is going to to right direction to be not required but as of now YOU STILL NEED TO FILE I-944.
Jonathan SandiMar 10, 2021
@Brady you are wrong. After the dismissal is over. The Supreme Court's dismissal of the case means that injunctions blocking the rule can take effect.
Brady007 Brady007Mar 10, 2021
i could be incorrect but from what i understood I-944 still needs to be filed.
Brady007 Brady007Mar 10, 2021
thanks ZA, that’s what i thought , until USCIS and DHS makes an announcement I-944 still needs to filed along with I-485 , that is why i was highlighting the headline little incorrect for others since it is not true yet!
V BMar 10, 2021
@Jonathan wow, that's is first time I hear about "ring shadow". Me and my husband don't wear rings at all...I hope they will not make a problem out of it

Rica BMar 10, 2021
do you guys know what this means for I-864 (affidavit of support)? would the sponsor still need to require a certain income?
Brady007 Brady007Mar 11, 2021
No need to file I-944 as of today!
https://www.uscis.gov/i-485
On or after March 9, 2021, applicants and petitioners should not provide information required solely by the Public Charge Final Rule. That means that applicants for adjustment of status should not provide the Form I-944, Declaration of Self-Sufficiency, or any evidence or documentation required on that form with their Form I-485. Applicants and petitioners for extension of nonimmigrant stay and change of nonimmigrant status should not provide information related to the receipt of public benefits on Form I-129 (Part 6), Form I-129CW (Part 6), Form I-539 (Part 5), and Form I-539A (Part 3).
