On Sep 18- People applying for adjustment of status (Green Card)- potentially face a roadblock/wrinkle
USCIS public-charge rules change on September 18, 2026. If you are filing Form I-485 for a Green Card from inside the United States, your filing date could determine which USCIS framework applies.
Two families can have the same salary, qualifications and Green Card category—but face different rules. Why? And what happens if you file before September 18 but receive an RFE afterward?
Through Ravi and Priya’s relatable story, we examine what these new rules could mean for an ordinary employment-based NRI family—including employment history, household finances, health, medical bills and government benefits.
Most importantly: What should you check before filing, and which problems should you not unnecessarily panic about?
