USCIS is Seeking Comments on New Public Charge Rules

USCIS is seeking feedback from the public that will help the development of new public charge regulations. Since the previous public charge rule (2019) under President Trump was vacated on March 9, 2019, USCIS has been applying the public charge inadmissibility statute consistent with the 1999 Interim Field Guidance, the policy that was in place before the 2019 public charge final rule.

You may submit comments through Regulations.gov under docket number USCIS-2021-0013. The deadline for submitting your comments is October 22, 2021.
