On October 10, 2018, the federal government published a proposed rule change to the “public charge” test. This test applies to many non-immigrant visa and lawful permanent resident status (“Green Card”) applications.
This proposal would hurt many immigrant families. The proposed changes are NOT in effect at this time and would not affect applications for naturalization (citizenship).
Due December 10, 2018
Because of a court order, the federal government has resumed acceptance of renewal applications for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) as of January 13, 2018.
These resources have more information on the renewal process and ways to get help. We recommend that you consult with an immigration lawyer or a nonprofit legal services organization.
