Legal permanent residents are not subject to a public charge test when applying for citizenship or renewing a green card. However, they are subject to a public charge test if they return to the U.S. after remaining abroad for 180 days or more, or if they return with a certain criminal history. For your records, also any person over over 65 can apply for medicare based on five years rules, for elders with a disability may be eligible for Medicare without providing a tax history, depending on cases, a person can't keep up while laws change every short period.

I have an 8-month-old baby and this month we applied for Wic and they support us with food for me and my baby, I entered with a TN visa but I am no longer working, I have no status and my i94 expires in November 2022. This week we will be sending out the forms for the AOS. I thought WIC wouldn't affect me and I also have Medicare where I only pay $4 a month. Before that I had Medical Assistance for pregnancy but after that I was no longer eligible so they switched me to Minnesotacare. From the beginning I asked if it would affect me as a public charge and they told me no, but now I'm a little worried. I am married to a citizen and our baby was born here too.

As stated in the video, you are allowed to try to apply for public benefits. However, the department of human services will need to look at other sources of your income, INCLUDING the affidavit of support signed by your daughter.
Hola Kseniya! I love your videos so much. I'm currently working on my Marriage GC package and I have one question. I already have an EAD (asylum seeking) so I'm not sure if I should include Form I-765 + I-131 in my package.

Thank you 😊 very helpful
Don't you have to be a citizen to get benefits like welfare and Medicaid or Medicare
if I am in the process of green card and I get pregnant does that interfiered with any paper work?
No I am in your situation
No but still Inform USCIS.
Just get your green card, your child is already a us citizen (doesn't need immigration documents)
