FAQ: 1. As explained in the video, if you are a family, employment, or diversity-based applicant you MUST ANSWER YES to question 61. 2. Any question asking about household income, debt, etc. - you must provide information for ~all people you counted in your household~ Any questions that do not literally say “household” are asking about the primary applicant. 3. Whom do you count in the household? I answer this in the video ☝🏻 4.

How do I know if I am subject to public charge ground of inadmissibility? "Only public cash assistance for income maintenance or long-term institutionalization at government expense provided to the applicant, where the applicant is listed as a named beneficiary, are considered in a public charge inadmissibility determination". The above is from USCIS website.. I don't know why I am still confused 😐. Thank you @Kseniya
Hi, big fan here you make life so easy thank you for your time . Question. If you were receiving benefits of hospitalized due to pregnancy do you still add this as evidence for question 68.c n d?
Thank you ❤ for this video. Really helpful. I don’t understand how some lawyers can say that if you have a good job and never asked public benefits, you are not subject to the public charge. I have been told that I was almost filling wrong my i-485, answering ‘No“ to this question. Thank you for clarifying that!
You are a God sent. I was confused as to how to answer 61 since I have never use any public benefit. So I thought to answer no. But your video just clarify everything to me. Thanks so much.
I did submit this form for my Mom unfortunately I selected NO to question 61 and now they sent me a notice of evidence or an explanation why the NO 😢. Now I have to refill the application and send it back to them luckily I made a copy of the previous application. I am a subscriber to this channel and this women helped me a lot mostly where to send these applications and stuffs . Thanks for all you do God bless you 🥰.
Same happened to me , and if you do not mind please share what did you put as houshold memeber, just your mom only since she is primery aplicant , or yourself as well? Thanks
Your explanation is great. Sadly I only learned about this after filling No and I got a letter of request for evidence from USCIS today saying I failed to answer the public charge questions😞 but I’m able to fill it out quickly thanks to your video. Going to mail out immediately and hopefully it’s just a small delay🤞🏼
@@osongavi3166 yes I have checked all the pages and wrote them a letter of list which are including the changes on the form. After I submitted that, they approved the case just today so it took their 7 days to approve it. But i dont wanna give you hope, hopefully it will happen to you too

WOW! I was just getting ready to start this part and saw that you made a live on this part of the form! Cool, thank you!!!
So if a mother (with no dependents and not claimed as dependent in tax return) lives with her adult independent son (who is sponsoring her) and their son's spouse, the household size would be just 1? The son and his wife wouldn't be included in the household size even though he is the one sponsoring her? And does that mean that in the next question when they ask "household income" it only includes her income? What if she doesnt have an income? These new questions really confused me.
Sounds like you’re correct. Based on the form instructions she would only count her son (the sponsor) if he was a child based on the INA definition, According to INA 101(b) (1) and 8 U.S.C. 1101(b)(1), a child is defined as: an “unmarried person under 21 years of age
Regarding these new questions: But i have not any household expenses or any valuable in USA ! Im UK citizen here on Esta Visa visiting and siblings to US citizen - my brother filled I-130 that got approved And received letter asking me to filled up form I-485 . And i don't work here in US And nether i have any valuable here to show income 🤔 so how i going to be answering these questions 😵💫
Watched your older video and didn’t remember seeing anything about that question. We sent the newer one answered “No”. Then i randomly found this. Hope they don’t turn it down. We cannot afford a lawyer and have little means to try again if they do
What about parents ( living with children on B2), who are adjusting their status and are unemployed, do not file taxes, and are not in anyone's tax return as dependents?
exactly, my dad is filling out this form but he doesnt declare taxes, i am the one who does with my husband and we live together all with our 2 kids so not sure what to put in, and my sister is over 21 and she lives abroad
Please the question on public charge. 1. Let say am B2 visitor and my spouse is filling for me should I select yes? 2. And from question 62 - 65 who is suppose to answer me or my wife or the two of us? 3.And question 66 - 67 who is the suppose to answer me or my wife. And lastly about if one had worked without authorization, what if I’ve worked as a cleaner before but on many different addresses what employers name and addresses should I use? Thank you.
hello! so thankful for your video , you are amazing at explaining!!! I just have one doubt, if you or anyone here can help... if I am adjusting status , married to U.S citizen currently in U.S living together, I worked here and we will file taxes separately, in size of household, shall I include him (by him I mean, his income, debts ,etc together with mine) even though we treated finances separately or shall I include only myself thanks in advanced for your help!
@@KseniyaInternational ok! thank you for your quick response, I´ll do it with myself then and answer questions accordingly. Your videos are amazing and really helpful!
This is very helpful video. Thank you for sharing. if you don't mind as I change my status from B2 to F1. I recently married and stay US now. Should I applied I130 together I-485 and I-864 and mail all package to USCIS at the same time. Thank you.
Hi! we really appreciate all the videos you uploaded to help us through the process. This part of the form is really misleading and confusing and I thank you for making a video regarding this to straighten things out. I do have questions and I hope you can help me out. I am currently filling for my wife's I-485, she got here in the US with a K1 visa (fiancé visa) and we are already married that means number 61 is a yes for her? am I correct? Second, for number 62 regarding the number of households. Is it her present household (just me and her) or her previous household back in her country of residency? Thank you for your time.
So for question 62, my dad lives with me, would he count himself, myself (his daughter), his son in law )my husband) and his granddaughter (my daughter) so 4?
for the question 61 : This question asks whether you are subject to the provisions of the public charge ground of inadmissibility under section 212(a)(4) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). This section refers to individuals whom the authorities believe may become a burden on the US society due to their reliance on government assistance (such as medical care or cash assistance) and may face refusal of entry to the United States. I ma confused about what you said because me and my husband our financial sitiuation is good so why i must say yes. please waiting your answer
I-485, Part#8,Q#62 and 63. Widow Mom (75 years- No income, On B2 Visa- Lives with sponsor son) filing AOS.Sponored by USC Son(45 Years old+spouse+2 kids) not claimed Mom as dependent in Tax return . Q-61 Checked Yes.Q-62 Moms's Housesize will be 1or 5 ? & Q-63 Household income will be Son's family income?.or 0
Hi Kseniya, this is just another great video with valuable information. Related to question 67, should we send copies of these certificates as supporting documents together with our 485 application?
Question 65: does household liabilities include the liabilities of the applicant or the liabilities of all people in the household . Example: applicant and child living together , household of 2: does the amount of liabilities have to be for both Individuals or just the applicant?
For question 64 isn't assets more than just cash in the bank. If you own your vehicle outright or have a bar of gold in your safe isn't that considered an asset??? Also question 65 mentions secured debt which for example is a car loan so shouldn't you list that? You only listed unsecured debt in your examples.
Hi. Kseniya. Thanks for this great guide. I'm still abit confused with question 63-65. I'm guessing this is taking about my husband income and household assets. I'm not working yet, I don't have debts so I'm not sure if my husbands is, let's say, still paying for his car, is that part of a liability?
Thank you so much my dear 🙏🏻 You save me a lot. What about if I entered the U.S unlawfully and got married to a Us citizen who is also a member of military and apply for military parole in place, it’s approved. So for the question where they ask if i have ever entered into the country unlawfully, should i answer no or yes? Again when they ask what’s my current immigration status ? What should i put? Please help me out with theses questions and i would be more than happy if there is a way I can contact you
When the public charge section asks the applicant for household income and assets, this refers to the income of both the applicant and her (American) spouse (assuming they are now married)? Or does this only refer to the income and assets of the applicant alone? Thanks. My wife and I love your channel so much.
@@askless I'm not an expert and this isn't legal advice. I can say that in our case we responded to this issue with the income and assets of both the applicant and the American spouse. The application was eventually approved. We Wishing you good luck.
what if im sponsoring my parents? and they are currently on B2 visa now here in Us with me and my husband - they have 2 children ( including me) but both married and over 21 , how many is the household size? also assests and debts from back home? please it would be help ful if you make a video specifically for parents in this section
What if back applicant live in with their child while she/he submits an un answered “No” than to resubmit. Applicant now is live independently, will the answer have to be updated or base on original.
Although I am filing the form for an Afghan SIV applicant, as you mentioned this rule does not apply to them. But I do appreciate your effort and adding your email for further assistance for those in need. If I needed your assistance in filling the forms I will send you an email.
I am filing for my parents and they are currently in USA. I have two kids. Should I answer 6 for Question 62? (applicant + applicant's spouse + myself(daughter) + my husband + my two kids)
Excellent video and really appreciate the public service you are doing. I’m applying for my Mother and she is widowed and doesn’t have any kids under 21. Her size of household will Be 1? Thanks again
Good afternoon Kseniya, great video. Two questions: My fiancée is now getting ready to finalize and submit the Form I-485 and was wondering if you could answer the following questions, pertaining to Public Charge. If she just moved to the U.S. and we just got married, that means the size of the Household is now 2 people, me and her, right? No kids or any additional people living with us. Finally, since she is new to the U.S. and doesn't have an income or assets, and currently relying solely on my support (Form I-864 will also be submitted), the last question is, do we use my income, assets, and liabilities as the Annual Household Income, Value of Assets and Liabilities? Thank you so much.
Undoubtedly you're a great teacher. My daughter has sponsored me and my wife(her mother). In I-485 form how many household members should I fill in public charge queastion?
Hello If the applicant doesn’t have kid but the spouse has one that he filled tax with and reside with them .Does the applicant need to count the kid too. Like 3

Hello, I am an American citizen and my wife is an immigrant and we used a notary business that was acting as a if they are a laywer and really messed up our forms. We certainly have my I-130 that is pending denial due lack of affidavits and other supporting evidence of the validity of the marrige and we now have all that and are about to send it however, my wife's i-485 was denied due to answering no the public charge question. Should I fill out and I-290b or should we just file a other i495? If we file another i495, do we have do all the blood work and other documents to go with it again? Please help. Thank you, Trey.
Hello Kseniya. So I am adjusting my parents who are in B2 visa. I was looking at your i485 video. I am the petitioner. My father and mother need to have a separate application for i130 and i485 right? Also for their i485, the answer for public charge question 61 is yes? I am confused since they don't have an income. They live with us, so me and my husband are the one working. Should I count our income,assets and liabilities in questions number 63-65? Thank you for your answer.
Im glad I found your video as it helped me understand what I need to do. However, I'm still confused at question 67, mainly because I have no work skills (last job was 2017), and I have no certifications or licenses. The last thing I ever really did was be a carer for my Grandma with dementia while she still lived at home. How do I even fill out question 67? Could i just leave it blank?
Hi Kseniya your videos are so helpful! On form I-485 “Public charge section” question 62, it ask about the household size. Since I am applying for my parents should I also include myself since I am their child? This would make a total household size of 3 which excludes my husband and child, correct? Second question, on question 64 it asks about the total value of your household assets. Would this mean my parents would have to include any assets, savings, or property they own over seas? Thank you!
Good evening, I am filling for my Dad who will be the applicant, what is the number I need to put down in question 62? Our household is 6, but if he is the petitioner and he hasn´t filed any taxes then the number would be 1? Thank you very much for all your help.

Good afternoon, I’m applying for adjustment of status for my wife and 2 kids(12 and 8). She doesn’t work, she is a home stay mom. I’m a US citizen so I will be submitting i130 and i485 together but the public charge question is giving me troubles. What should I mark for my wife and for my kids? Do I have to use my income for all of them? Thank you,
Hello k, I am organizing the documents to send them to USCIS, and today I find that there is no related information about the joint payment of the i-485 and the I-765, last week it appeared on the USCIS page that if I paid the I-485 I should not pay the I-765 if I presented them together. Today I can't find the information, but if references appear when I search for it on Google, I open the link and in the link, I can't find it. What should I do?
For question 64 and 65, if you own a house that’s not paid off how would you put that in? For assets would it be the full value of the house or only the equity in the house? And for liabilities would it be what’s left on the mortgage?
I am so confused, could you please help me? Q:62 - household size So I am a USC, and we're filing this for my mother who is currently in the US on a tourist visa. I have my wife and my son and my mother living with me right now. I also have a brother who is living in another country. So who would be counted in applicant's household here? My mother, myself and my brother even though he lives in another country? Or my mother, myself, my wife and my son?
Hi thank you for this detailed video. I have recently submitted my i485 (employment based) application and mistakenly put “no” to question 61. What should be my next step? Should I contact USCIS to submit a new version of i485? If yes, can please tell me the process of doing this?
oh my god I was going to put no for this, thank you!!! I do have a question, if I am living with my US citizen Spouse's family, should I put the household size etc. including them?
Thank you very much for your work! Could you please tell me the help that was issued by a humanitarian password for Ukrainian citizens, in the form of cash, does it apply to question 68.a?
Hi, My husband came through a K1 visa and now we are doing the adjustment of status. We are stuck on a section and need help. It’s Part 8: General and inadmissibility Grounds #61 regarding Public Charge. From my awareness it is a yes based on research, but the questions after that such as household size and income will it be all my info? I live with my mom, dad, brother and now my husband. No one is depending on my parents but will 5 be the household size! However I have no one dependent on me and since my husband can’t work it’s my information right? Also, the income will that be whoever is working in my house combined? Please I need help! Thank you!
Filing this forme based on the previous one. I did answer No the first time, then I received the working permit. My question is answering the same parte do I have to change to my actual status ? Meaning since I got the working permit ?
Thank you for this video! I have a question with item #62. My husband's parents are residing with us although they are not listed as a dependent on his tax, should I include them still on our household?
Trying to help out a friend. He is stuck at question 62 what is the household size? He lives with his wife and her 2 children aged 19 and 21 years, and he does not claim anyone on tax returns.

So for question 62, my dad lives with me, would he count himself, myself (his daughter), his son in law )my husband) and his granddaughter (my daughter) so 4?
for the question 61 :
This question asks whether you are subject to the provisions of the public charge ground of inadmissibility under section 212(a)(4) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). This section refers to individuals whom the authorities believe may become a burden on the US society due to their reliance on government assistance (such as medical care or cash assistance) and may face refusal of entry to the United States. I ma confused about what you said because me and my husband our financial sitiuation is good so why i must say yes. please waiting your answer
What happened? My case my husband is my 100%sponsor
For Question 62 in the form I-485
What is the size of your household?
Can I count an unmarried child over 21 who resides with me?
Thank you so very much!
I-485, Part#8,Q#62 and 63. Widow Mom (75 years- No income, On B2 Visa- Lives with sponsor son) filing AOS.Sponored by USC Son(45 Years old+spouse+2 kids) not claimed Mom as dependent in Tax return . Q-61 Checked Yes.Q-62 Moms's Housesize will be 1or 5 ? & Q-63 Household income will be Son's family income?.or 0
Great video! I hope you get to see this question
For part 8, #65-67 question
Is it Petitioner or Beneficiary information?
Hi Kseniya, this is just another great video with valuable information. Related to question 67, should we send copies of these certificates as supporting documents together with our 485 application?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Question 65: does household liabilities include the liabilities of the applicant or the liabilities of all people in the household . Example: applicant and child living together , household of 2: does the amount of liabilities have to be for both Individuals or just the applicant?
For question 64 isn't assets more than just cash in the bank. If you own your vehicle outright or have a bar of gold in your safe isn't that considered an asset???
Also question 65 mentions secured debt which for example is a car loan so shouldn't you list that? You only listed unsecured debt in your examples.
Hi. Kseniya. Thanks for this great guide. I'm still abit confused with question 63-65. I'm guessing this is taking about my husband income and household assets. I'm not working yet, I don't have debts so I'm not sure if my husbands is, let's say, still paying for his car, is that part of a liability?
Thank you so much my dear 🙏🏻
You save me a lot.
What about if I entered the U.S unlawfully and got married to a Us citizen who is also a member of military and apply for military parole in place, it’s approved.
So for the question where they ask if i have ever entered into the country unlawfully, should i answer no or yes?
Again when they ask what’s my current immigration status ?
What should i put?
Please help me out with theses questions and i would be more than happy if there is a way I can contact you
Thank you so much for your videos! 🙏
When the public charge section asks the applicant for household income and assets, this refers to the income of both the applicant and her (American) spouse (assuming they are now married)? Or does this only refer to the income and assets of the applicant alone? Thanks. My wife and I love your channel so much.
Did u figured it out?
@@askless
I'm not an expert and this isn't legal advice. I can say that in our case we responded to this issue with the income and assets of both the applicant and the American spouse. The application was eventually approved. We Wishing you good luck.
@@tomjohnston5141 Did you file your taxes with your spouse or separate? We filed separately so I'm not sure if we should count both of our income.
@@noralipcsak4222 We filed jointly. I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to your question. Wishing you the best. I know it is stressful!
Thank you so much . ❤❤
Thank you !! your are the best

please it would be help ful if you make a video specifically for parents in this section
Thank you so much ❤
What if currently when filling the form we live with my spouse's mother. Does she count as 3 people household? I am the applicant for green card.
What if back applicant live in with their child while she/he submits an un answered “No” than to resubmit. Applicant now is live independently, will the answer have to be updated or base on original.
Although I am filing the form for an Afghan SIV applicant, as you mentioned this rule does not apply to them.
But I do appreciate your effort and adding your email for further assistance for those in need.
If I needed your assistance in filling the forms I will send you an email.
I am filing for my parents and they are currently in USA. I have two kids. Should I answer 6 for Question 62? (applicant + applicant's spouse + myself(daughter) + my husband + my two kids)
Thank you for the video! Do foreign student loans (UK) count as liabilities? Have been trying to find that information online but failed.
Excellent video and really appreciate the public service you are doing. I’m applying for my Mother and she is widowed and doesn’t have any kids under 21. Her size of household will
Be 1? Thanks again
Yes
Hi there, I just subscribed to your channel, thank you for the great job you do.
Good afternoon Kseniya, great video. Two questions: My fiancée is now getting ready to finalize and submit the Form I-485 and was wondering if you could answer the following questions, pertaining to Public Charge. If she just moved to the U.S. and we just got married, that means the size of the Household is now 2 people, me and her, right? No kids or any additional people living with us.
Finally, since she is new to the U.S. and doesn't have an income or assets, and currently relying solely on my support (Form I-864 will also be submitted), the last question is, do we use my income, assets, and liabilities as the Annual Household Income, Value of Assets and Liabilities? Thank you so much.
Gracias por tu ayuda!!
Hi Kseniya! Might I ask what PDF editing software you’re using to type within the forms in your video?
Undoubtedly you're a great teacher. My daughter has sponsored me and my wife(her mother). In I-485 form how many household members should I fill in public charge queastion?
Hi thank you for this video
Please my question is what is supporting documents I have to submit with this application
Hello

An LPR got his immediate family paroled in USA. His wife and a child got SQ.. visa on their passports. However, they got paroled from Afghanistan before the process to get green card completed. Which A # should be entered in form i-485, A# on passport visa or the USCIS# on their EAD cards? please guide.
Hello,
I am an American citizen and my wife is an immigrant and we used a notary business that was acting as a if they are a laywer and really messed up our forms. We certainly have my I-130 that is pending denial due lack of affidavits and other supporting evidence of the validity of the marrige and we now have all that and are about to send it however, my wife's i-485 was denied due to answering no the public charge question. Should I fill out and I-290b or should we just file a other i495? If we file another i495, do we have do all the blood work and other documents to go with it again? Please help. Thank you,
Trey.
Hello Kseniya. So I am adjusting my parents who are in B2 visa. I was looking at your i485 video. I am the petitioner. My father and mother need to have a separate application for i130 and i485 right? Also for their i485, the answer for public charge question 61 is yes? I am confused since they don't have an income. They live with us, so me and my husband are the one working. Should I count our income,assets and liabilities in questions number 63-65? Thank you for your answer.
I have the same situation...
I have the same questions
Have you guys figured out anything about this? I am having same question now.
Have you guys figure out the answer? I’m on the same boat too
In the same situation and I’m confused!
Great videos, really life and money saver
Im glad I found your video as it helped me understand what I need to do.
However, I'm still confused at question 67, mainly because I have no work skills (last job was 2017), and I have no certifications or licenses. The last thing I ever really did was be a carer for my Grandma with dementia while she still lived at home. How do I even fill out question 67? Could i just leave it blank?
Yes you can leave it blank
Hi Kseniya your videos are so helpful! On form I-485 “Public charge section” question 62, it ask about the household size. Since I am applying for my parents should I also include myself since I am their child? This would make a total household size of 3 which excludes my husband and child, correct?
Second question, on question 64 it asks about the total value of your household assets. Would this mean my parents would have to include any assets, savings, or property they own over seas?
Thank you!
Following this question
Have you got the answer? I’m in the same situation too, applying for my parents
I’m in the same situation too
Same here

Good evening, I am filling for my Dad who will be the applicant, what is the number I need to put down in question 62?
Our household is 6, but if he is the petitioner and he hasn´t filed any taxes then the number would be 1? Thank you very much for all your help.

Thank you so much in advanced!
Good afternoon,
I’m applying for adjustment of status for my wife and 2 kids(12 and 8). She doesn’t work, she is a home stay mom. I’m a US citizen so I will be submitting i130 and i485 together but the public charge question is giving me troubles. What should I mark for my wife and for my kids? Do I have to use my income for all of them?
Thank you,
Hello k, I am organizing the documents to send them to USCIS, and today I find that there is no related information about the joint payment of the i-485 and the I-765, last week it appeared on the USCIS page that if I paid the I-485 I should not pay the I-765 if I presented them together. Today I can't find the information, but if references appear when I search for it on Google, I open the link and in the link, I can't find it. What should I do?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
For question 64 and 65, if you own a house that’s not paid off how would you put that in? For assets would it be the full value of the house or only the equity in the house? And for liabilities would it be what’s left on the mortgage?
The way I understand it is assets would be equity and liabilities - remaining mortgage
@@KseniyaInternational okay is that how you’ve usually done it for people? And it’s been fine?
Thank you for such a helpful video, is it recommended to wait until after the i-485 is filed to buy a house in terms of showing too much debt?
I am so confused, could you please help me?
Q:62 - household size
So I am a USC, and we're filing this for my mother who is currently in the US on a tourist visa. I have my wife and my son and my mother living with me right now. I also have a brother who is living in another country. So who would be counted in applicant's household here? My mother, myself and my brother even though he lives in another country? Or my mother, myself, my wife and my son?
Hi thank you for this detailed video.
I have recently submitted my i485 (employment based) application and mistakenly put “no” to question 61. What should be my next step? Should I contact USCIS to submit a new version of i485? If yes, can please tell me the process of doing this?
I belive as a employment based you have to say no, thats what my lawyer said
I did the same as you. I said "no" USCIS has already received our application. We'll see what happens 🙏🏿
@@ramieyaharris did you get the receipt notice?
I also put no before seeing the video. Any of you get updates from USCIS?
Any update on this? Lol
oh my god I was going to put no for this, thank you!!! I do have a question, if I am living with my US citizen Spouse's family, should I put the household size etc. including them?
Thank you very much for your work! Could you please tell me the help that was issued by a humanitarian password for Ukrainian citizens, in the form of cash, does it apply to question 68.a?
Thanks love you have made this so easy ❤
Excelente video!!!! Gracias
Hi thanks for information but I'm seeing but late. Suppose you put 'No' because you didn't understand the question what do you think will happen???
What an amazing explanation 🙏 thank you ! .. on question 63 my parents currently receive social security pension . Does that count towards income ?
Thanks a lot! 🎉
Hi,
My husband came through a K1 visa and now we are doing the adjustment of status. We are stuck on a section and need help. It’s Part 8: General and inadmissibility Grounds #61 regarding Public Charge. From my awareness it is a yes based on research, but the questions after that such as household size and income will it be all my info? I live with my mom, dad, brother and now my husband. No one is depending on my parents but will 5 be the household size! However I have no one dependent on me and since my husband can’t work it’s my information right? Also, the income will that be whoever is working in my house combined? Please I need help! Thank you!
Thank you very much.
Filing this forme based on the previous one. I did answer No the first time, then I received the working permit. My question is answering the same parte do I have to change to my actual status ? Meaning since I got the working permit ?
Thank you for this video! I have a question with item #62. My husband's parents are residing with us although they are not listed as a dependent on his tax, should I include them still on our household?
Hello, this is my case too. I'm confused.
I am confused about that too
I have the same situation.
Hi Anything you figured out in 1 month?
Any answer on this yet?
Trying to help out a friend. He is stuck at question 62 what is the household size? He lives with his wife and her 2 children aged 19 and 21 years, and he does not claim anyone on tax returns.
