![]() ![]() It's going to be very difficult.īut the real thing that you needed to consider is do I even want to do this? Can I even do this? Can I demonstrate to the government's satisfaction that I am not going to become a public charge, that if I get a green card that I am going to be able to support myself? And so the way that we see this playing out is historically a US citizen could get a co-sponsor if they didn't make enough money to show that they could support their intending immigrant. Almost everyone's going to have to go ahead and file that I-944 and there's also going to be this possibility that you'll post a bond in order to demonstrate that you're not going to become a public charge. It's going to be secondary to this I-944, the declaration of self-sufficiency. The I-864 is the affidavit support, but the affidavit support's going to now take a back burner. In the old days, the I-864 was enough to cover the public charge, but that's not going to be enough. ![]() So, that's one big change that I want to mention. So the Department of Justice is also working on public charge rules to help streamline their deportation of people who fail to satisfy the requirements under the I-944. ![]() One of the things that certainly is a possibility that if an immigrant is here and they apply for adjustment of status and they are out of status or not in some kind of other immigration status and they get denied for the self-sufficiency problem for it not being able to prove that they have enough money or that they will survive in the United States, there's a very real possibility that when USCA has done adjudicating the case, if they end up denying the case that the person's going to end up in deportation proceedings. So we as lawyers are going to have to do a better job of screening our cases. So the first thing conceptually you have to understand is it's going to apply to every case. And the main way they're doing that is with this I-944, the declaration of self-sufficiency. And one of the points that's being made is that they really want to only allow rich people to sponsor loved ones, that they are greatly increasing the standards on whether or not an immigrant can get a green card and they're going to make it much more difficult. No one is going to be immune from these new rules. The first thing I want to mention is that it's going to affect all adjustment status applicants. I'm going to be referring to my notes again because like I said, this stuff is hot off the presses and there are a lot of changes and we're going to talk about how the I-944 declaration of self-sufficiency is going to impact adjustment of status. In this video, we're going to talk about specifically the I-944. Hi, I'm Jim Hacking, immigration lawyer practicing law throughout the United States at our office here in St. How will the I-944 affect the adjudication of applications for adjustment of status? ![]()
