A: Good morning. The I-944 is required for Adjustment of status. Marriage based greencard is my main focus of practice. I will be glad to help you review your documents before submission.

Be sure your spouse is a US citizen before filing concurrently.

This communication is not legal advise and does not create client- attorney relationship.

A: USCIS announced that following the September 11, 2020, Second Circuit decision, it will apply the public charge final rule and related guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual to all applications and petitions postmarked (or submitted electronically) on or after February 24, 2020. Hence you will need to file the FORM I-944 with the FORM I-485.
