Everyone is subject to the public charge ground of inadmissibility, except a select few. The most common applicants for adjustment of status who are exempt include the following: Asylees and refugees Cubans applying under the Cuban Adjustment Act VAWA recipients • Afghan and Iraqi interpreters/employees of U.S. government Special Immigrant Juveniles T and U visa recipients Respond to the RFE that is was a mistake, then add a new I485 with the public charge question answered “yes”, and answer the questions that follow about income and all. You should be fine. P.S: it will also be more beneficial for you to contact a lawyer if you are ever in doubt.
