Q: I filed for marriage based green card in December - should I file the I-944, bring it to the interview or not at all?
A:
The FORM I-944 is required for all applications for adjustment of status filed after February 24, 2020. If you filed the FORM I-485 prior to that date , the FORM I-944 is not required.
If you wish to prepare and file the FORM I-944 in your case you are submitting a form with USCIS that is not required.
Stephen Arnold Black agrees with this answer
A: Applications filed prior to Feb 24, 2020 are subject to the earlier public charge rules.
