Starting December 23, 2023: USCIS Public Charge Rule Erodes Your Privacy

Описание: The new I-485 form required from December 23, 2022 will now require you to provide information about:
i) your income and assets along with your debt (this is new, they didn't ask for debt info before). The types of debt you will be reporting are on things like mortgages, car loans, student loans, and business loans. Basically, debts of more than $10,000.
ii) The government wants to know about your education, skills, and qualifications. You are now required to disclose your highest level of education, your professional certifications, and your job skills. This information helps the government determine whether you are likely to be employed and in what professions.
iii) Your use of public benefits, in particular cash benefits you have collected from the state or federal government. The government will also ask if you have been institutionalized at U.S. government expense. Use of these public benefits is often restricted to U.S. citizens or their family members. Even when not restricted by government policy, collection of these benefits by non-U.S. citizens or permanent residents can now have a negative impact on your immigration application.
