FAQ: 1. As explained in the video, if you are a family, employment, or diversity-based applicant you MUST ANSWER YES to question 61. 2. Any question asking about household income, debt, etc. - you must provide information for ~all people you counted in your household~ Any questions that do not literally say “household” are asking about the primary applicant. 3. Whom do you count in the household? I answer this in the video ☝🏻 4.

How do I know if I am subject to public charge ground of inadmissibility? "Only public cash assistance for income maintenance or long-term institutionalization at government expense provided to the applicant, where the applicant is listed as a named beneficiary, are considered in a public charge inadmissibility determination". The above is from USCIS website.. I don't know why I am still confused 😐. Thank you @Kseniya
Hi, big fan here you make life so easy thank you for your time . Question. If you were receiving benefits of hospitalized due to pregnancy do you still add this as evidence for question 68.c n d?
Thank you ❤ for this video. Really helpful. I don’t understand how some lawyers can say that if you have a good job and never asked public benefits, you are not subject to the public charge. I have been told that I was almost filling wrong my i-485, answering ‘No“ to this question. Thank you for clarifying that!
Your explanation is great. Sadly I only learned about this after filling No and I got a letter of request for evidence from USCIS today saying I failed to answer the public charge questions😞 but I’m able to fill it out quickly thanks to your video. Going to mail out immediately and hopefully it’s just a small delay🤞🏼
@@osongavi3166 yes I have checked all the pages and wrote them a letter of list which are including the changes on the form. After I submitted that, they approved the case just today so it took their 7 days to approve it. But i dont wanna give you hope, hopefully it will happen to you too

WOW! I was just getting ready to start this part and saw that you made a live on this part of the form! Cool, thank you!!!
Thank you dearly, you answered my question that I was unsure about. Luckily for me I was not hastily to submit before doing some research. You're awesome and it was smart of you to make this timely video that is such a big help to me and others. Blessings 👍👍🙏
Thank you so much for the very clear and detailed video, I almost completely missed question 61!! May your pillows always be cool and may your favorite snacks always available! :)
So if a mother (with no dependents and not claimed as dependent in tax return) lives with her adult independent son (who is sponsoring her) and their son's spouse, the household size would be just 1? The son and his wife wouldn't be included in the household size even though he is the one sponsoring her? And does that mean that in the next question when they ask "household income" it only includes her income? What if she doesnt have an income? These new questions really confused me.
Sounds like you’re correct. Based on the form instructions she would only count her son (the sponsor) if he was a child based on the INA definition, According to INA 101(b) (1) and 8 U.S.C. 1101(b)(1), a child is defined as: an “unmarried person under 21 years of age
Watched your older video and didn’t remember seeing anything about that question. We sent the newer one answered “No”. Then i randomly found this. Hope they don’t turn it down. We cannot afford a lawyer and have little means to try again if they do
What about parents ( living with children on B2), who are adjusting their status and are unemployed, do not file taxes, and are not in anyone's tax return as dependents?
exactly, my dad is filling out this form but he doesnt declare taxes, i am the one who does with my husband and we live together all with our 2 kids so not sure what to put in, and my sister is over 21 and she lives abroad
Please the question on public charge. 1. Let say am B2 visitor and my spouse is filling for me should I select yes? 2. And from question 62 - 65 who is suppose to answer me or my wife or the two of us? 3.And question 66 - 67 who is the suppose to answer me or my wife. And lastly about if one had worked without authorization, what if I’ve worked as a cleaner before but on many different addresses what employers name and addresses should I use? Thank you.
Your videos helped me a lot, i have a few questions in regard to part 8 - Questions 49, 53, 55. The beneficiary was a law enforcement for 35 years. Also, on part 8 - 62, the beneficiary has minimum debt but outside the US, while the petitioner has more debt, do we have to put into the form?
for the question 61 : This question asks whether you are subject to the provisions of the public charge ground of inadmissibility under section 212(a)(4) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). This section refers to individuals whom the authorities believe may become a burden on the US society due to their reliance on government assistance (such as medical care or cash assistance) and may face refusal of entry to the United States. I ma confused about what you said because me and my husband our financial sitiuation is good so why i must say yes. please waiting your answer
Regarding these new questions: But i have not any household expenses or any valuable in USA ! Im UK citizen here on Esta Visa visiting and siblings to US citizen - my brother filled I-130 that got approved And received letter asking me to filled up form I-485 . And i don't work here in US And nether i have any valuable here to show income 🤔 so how i going to be answering these questions 😵💫
You are a God sent. I was confused as to how to answer 61 since I have never use any public benefit. So I thought to answer no. But your video just clarify everything to me. Thanks so much.

Question 68a- if i received a payment from the Australian government (Centrelink) at ANY time in my life when i was living there, do i add that? or only if i received some type of benefit in the us, which i have not.
This is very helpful video. Thank you for sharing. if you don't mind as I change my status from B2 to F1. I recently married and stay US now. Should I applied I130 together I-485 and I-864 and mail all package to USCIS at the same time. Thank you.
When the public charge section asks the applicant for household income and assets, this refers to the income of both the applicant and her (American) spouse (assuming they are now married)? Or does this only refer to the income and assets of the applicant alone? Thanks. My wife and I love your channel so much.
@@askless I'm not an expert and this isn't legal advice. I can say that in our case we responded to this issue with the income and assets of both the applicant and the American spouse. The application was eventually approved. We Wishing you good luck.
Thank you so much my dear 🙏🏻 You save me a lot. What about if I entered the U.S unlawfully and got married to a Us citizen who is also a member of military and apply for military parole in place, it’s approved. So for the question where they ask if i have ever entered into the country unlawfully, should i answer no or yes? Again when they ask what’s my current immigration status ? What should i put? Please help me out with theses questions and i would be more than happy if there is a way I can contact you
Excellent video and really appreciate the public service you are doing. I’m applying for my Mother and she is widowed and doesn’t have any kids under 21. Her size of household will Be 1? Thanks again
Hi Kseniya! I have a question about the household size on Q62. I’m married to a USC and we have a daughter together (9mos). The 3 of us are living together in the US. I also have a son (from a previous unmarried relationship) but is living outside the US. Hence, I’m not sure whether I should also count my child (5yo) living outside the US and is not applying with me at the same time. Because it says on the list “applicant’s children”, however it doesn’t specify “if physically residing” like the others. I hope you can see this comment and reply 🙏 I really have a hard time answering this question. I tried searching but couldn’t get an answer. Anyway, thank you!
Ok so I am almost certain of the answer to my question but for clarity just entertain me😁. WHO FILLS OUT THE I-485 FORM, ME (BENEFICIARY) or MY HUSBAND (PETITIONER)? As far as income if I am the one filling out this form then its $0 for income as I am NOT working, so please can you clarify, thanks another great detailed video!!

Hi Kseniya your videos are so helpful! On form I-485 “Public charge section” question 62, it ask about the household size. Since I am applying for my parents should I also include myself since I am their child? This would make a total household size of 3 which excludes my husband and child, correct? Second question, on question 64 it asks about the total value of your household assets. Would this mean my parents would have to include any assets, savings, or property they own over seas? Thank you!
About questions 63, can I include income I earned in the past year (2023) overseas before I came to the USA? Before I entered the USA I had a good job overseas.. Also, in question 64 [assets] may I include value of properties I own overseas? Thank you very much for this video!
@@ranfan02 Yes, now I know you can include all I mentioned above. [Also you can say you are now unemployed if you are not working since you came to the USA.] I hope this helps you! Good luck!
Hello k, I am organizing the documents to send them to USCIS, and today I find that there is no related information about the joint payment of the i-485 and the I-765, last week it appeared on the USCIS page that if I paid the I-485 I should not pay the I-765 if I presented them together. Today I can't find the information, but if references appear when I search for it on Google, I open the link and in the link, I can't find it. What should I do?

Hello Kseniya. So I am adjusting my parents who are in B2 visa. I was looking at your i485 video. I am the petitioner. My father and mother need to have a separate application for i130 and i485 right? Also for their i485, the answer for public charge question 61 is yes? I am confused since they don't have an income. They live with us, so me and my husband are the one working. Should I count our income,assets and liabilities in questions number 63-65? Thank you for your answer.
I am so confused, could you please help me? Q:62 - household size So I am a USC, and we're filing this for my mother who is currently in the US on a tourist visa. I have my wife and my son and my mother living with me right now. I also have a brother who is living in another country. So who would be counted in applicant's household here? My mother, myself and my brother even though he lives in another country? Or my mother, myself, my wife and my son?
An LPR got his immediate family paroled in USA. His wife and a child got SQ.. visa on their passports. However, they got paroled from Afghanistan before the process to get green card completed.

Good afternoon, I’m applying for adjustment of status for my wife and 2 kids(12 and 8). She doesn’t work, she is a home stay mom. I’m a US citizen so I will be submitting i130 and i485 together but the public charge question is giving me troubles. What should I mark for my wife and for my kids? Do I have to use my income for all of them? Thank you,
@KseniyaInternational Help !!! I am the applicant and Unemployed (5 months in USA). My wife the petitioner last tax filled her and our 7 years old girl. We have actually a new born boy 6 month old. We all 4 four resides together now in USA. What is the size of my household. I , kindly, ask because you mentioned “ the applicant’s tax return”. Grateful for your help!!! Blessings
А отвечая, что я subject to public charge это не значит, что я планирую(могу) под них попасть? Я например к1 я просто должна указать Yes, because if the nature of my USA admission?
What if back applicant live in with their child while she/he submits an un answered “No” than to resubmit. Applicant now is live independently, will the answer have to be updated or base on original.
+1 to this question. My sister is petitioning for our two parents, they reside with her. Should they include her as member of household (she is their child si technically they should, but she'd over 21 and she is the petitioner)? As to income, assests, liabilities, do my sister's family assests count?
Great video, for the number of household, my parents are filling aos and they are living with me (i'm single)i am the sponsor and the usc, since both of them live with me, my understanding is they should put 3 for the number of household? myself, mom and dad. and the income basically is only my income since they don't work. thanks i. advance.
As I mentioned in the video, the household size on this form may not match the household size on the I-864. Each parent's household size on I-485 would only be 2, since they do not count any children over 21.
Thank you very much that was very helpful. one last question please.. what would be the household income if I am not included in the number of household? The video did not cover a use case for parents who are adjusting status and not working and living with child not counted as household (more than 21yrs old). Should they choose the first option? thanks

When the public charge section asks the applicant for household income and assets, this refers to the income of both the applicant and her (American) spouse (assuming they are now married)? Or does this only refer to the income and assets of the applicant alone? Thanks. My wife and I love your channel so much.
Did u figured it out?
@@askless
I'm not an expert and this isn't legal advice. I can say that in our case we responded to this issue with the income and assets of both the applicant and the American spouse. The application was eventually approved. We Wishing you good luck.
@@tomjohnston5141 Did you file your taxes with your spouse or separate? We filed separately so I'm not sure if we should count both of our income.
@@noralipcsak4222 We filed jointly. I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to your question. Wishing you the best. I know it is stressful!
Will any of this answers affect your application? Like question 64 about the assets? Will they require proof of the assests?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thank you !! your are the best
Great videos, really life and money saver
Thank you so much my dear 🙏🏻
You save me a lot.
What about if I entered the U.S unlawfully and got married to a Us citizen who is also a member of military and apply for military parole in place, it’s approved.
So for the question where they ask if i have ever entered into the country unlawfully, should i answer no or yes?
Again when they ask what’s my current immigration status ?
What should i put?
Please help me out with theses questions and i would be more than happy if there is a way I can contact you
Thank you so much . ❤❤
For Question 62 in the form I-485
What is the size of your household?
Can I count an unmarried child over 21 who resides with me?
Excellent video and really appreciate the public service you are doing. I’m applying for my Mother and she is widowed and doesn’t have any kids under 21. Her size of household will
Be 1? Thanks again
Yes
Thank you so much ❤
Hi Kseniya! I have a question about the household size on Q62. I’m married to a USC and we have a daughter together (9mos). The 3 of us are living together in the US. I also have a son (from a previous unmarried relationship) but is living outside the US. Hence, I’m not sure whether I should also count my child (5yo) living outside the US and is not applying with me at the same time. Because it says on the list “applicant’s children”, however it doesn’t specify “if physically residing” like the others. I hope you can see this comment and reply 🙏 I really have a hard time answering this question. I tried searching but couldn’t get an answer. Anyway, thank you!
@@agfern you should count any and all underage children
@@KseniyaInternationalthank you for your response! 💕
Ok so I am almost certain of the answer to my question but for clarity just entertain me😁. WHO FILLS OUT THE I-485 FORM, ME (BENEFICIARY) or MY HUSBAND (PETITIONER)?
As far as income if I am the one filling out this form then its $0 for income as I am NOT working, so please can you clarify, thanks another great detailed video!!
Good question 🤔
Form I-485 is filed by the applicant. Your household is you and your husband (plus children if under 21).
I-485, Part#8,Q#62 and 63. Widow Mom (75 years- No income, On B2 Visa- Lives with sponsor son) filing AOS.Sponored by USC Son(45 Years old+spouse+2 kids) not claimed Mom as dependent in Tax return . Q-61 Checked Yes.Q-62 Moms's Housesize will be 1or 5 ? & Q-63 Household income will be Son's family income?.or 0
I am in the similar situation. How did you end up putting in the Household and income information? Appreciate your response.
Hi Kseniya your videos are so helpful! On form I-485 “Public charge section” question 62, it ask about the household size. Since I am applying for my parents should I also include myself since I am their child? This would make a total household size of 3 which excludes my husband and child, correct?
Second question, on question 64 it asks about the total value of your household assets. Would this mean my parents would have to include any assets, savings, or property they own over seas?
Thank you!
Following this question
Have you got the answer? I’m in the same situation too, applying for my parents
I’m in the same situation too
Same here

Does the debt include debt from my home country or just debt accrued in the USA?
About questions 63, can I include income I earned in the past year (2023) overseas before I came to the USA? Before I entered the USA I had a good job overseas.. Also, in question 64 [assets] may I include value of properties I own overseas? Thank you very much for this video!
@@AB-gs6by did you got this answer????? I have that same question
@@ranfan02 Yes, now I know you can include all I mentioned above. [Also you can say you are now unemployed if you are not working since you came to the USA.] I hope this helps you! Good luck!
Hello k, I am organizing the documents to send them to USCIS, and today I find that there is no related information about the joint payment of the i-485 and the I-765, last week it appeared on the USCIS page that if I paid the I-485 I should not pay the I-765 if I presented them together. Today I can't find the information, but if references appear when I search for it on Google, I open the link and in the link, I can't find it. What should I do?
Public Charge question answer? YES or NO (Getting SNAP and Medicaid - asylee dependents)
Hello
If the applicant doesn’t have kid but the spouse has one that he filled tax with and reside with them .Does the applicant need to count the kid too. Like 3
Hello Kseniya. So I am adjusting my parents who are in B2 visa. I was looking at your i485 video. I am the petitioner. My father and mother need to have a separate application for i130 and i485 right? Also for their i485, the answer for public charge question 61 is yes? I am confused since they don't have an income. They live with us, so me and my husband are the one working. Should I count our income,assets and liabilities in questions number 63-65? Thank you for your answer.
I have the same situation...
I have the same questions
Have you guys figured out anything about this? I am having same question now.
Have you guys figure out the answer? I’m on the same boat too

Q:62 - household size
So I am a USC, and we're filing this for my mother who is currently in the US on a tourist visa. I have my wife and my son and my mother living with me right now. I also have a brother who is living in another country. So who would be counted in applicant's household here? My mother, myself and my brother even though he lives in another country? Or my mother, myself, my wife and my son?
An LPR got his immediate family paroled in USA. His wife and a child got SQ.. visa on their passports. However, they got paroled from Afghanistan before the process to get green card completed. Which A # should be entered in form i-485, A# on passport visa or the USCIS# on their EAD cards? please guide.
Good afternoon,
I’m applying for adjustment of status for my wife and 2 kids(12 and 8). She doesn’t work, she is a home stay mom. I’m a US citizen so I will be submitting i130 and i485 together but the public charge question is giving me troubles. What should I mark for my wife and for my kids? Do I have to use my income for all of them?
Thank you,
@KseniyaInternational Help !!! I am the applicant and Unemployed (5 months in USA). My wife the petitioner last tax filled her and our 7 years old girl. We have actually a new born boy 6 month old. We all 4 four resides together now in USA. What is the size of my household. I , kindly, ask because you mentioned “ the applicant’s tax return”. Grateful for your help!!! Blessings
@@KARLLAPLANTE-s7c your household size is 4

А отвечая, что я subject to public charge это не значит, что я планирую(могу) под них попасть? Я например к1 я просто должна указать Yes, because if the nature of my USA admission?
Thank you very much.
What if back applicant live in with their child while she/he submits an un answered “No” than to resubmit. Applicant now is live independently, will the answer have to be updated or base on original.
Who fills this out? The petitioner or beneficiary? K1 visa
I am sponsoring green card for parents as an unmarried adult. Shall I count myself and my income/assets in question 62,63,64? Thanks!
+1 to this question. My sister is petitioning for our two parents, they reside with her. Should they include her as member of household (she is their child si technically they should, but she'd over 21 and she is the petitioner)? As to income, assests, liabilities, do my sister's family assests count?
Excelente video!!!! Gracias
Thanks love you have made this so easy ❤
I answered “no”. But I also filled the questions 62-68. Do you think I should go ahead and upload the correction or wait for RFE?
Great video, for the number of household, my parents are filling aos and they are living with me (i'm single)i am the sponsor and the usc, since both of them live with me, my understanding is they should put 3 for the number of household? myself, mom and dad. and the income basically is only my income since they don't work. thanks i. advance.
Correct. Household income is basically yours if your parents are not working and you don’t have someone else living with you who has a job.
As I mentioned in the video, the household size on this form may not match the household size on the I-864. Each parent's household size on I-485 would only be 2, since they do not count any children over 21.
even if they live with me?
@@maui99z yes, review the instructions for this part of the form.
Thank you very much that was very helpful. one last question please.. what would be the household income if I am not included in the number of household? The video did not cover a use case for parents who are adjusting status and not working and living with child not counted as household (more than 21yrs old). Should they choose the first option? thanks
Hi thank you for this video
Please my question is what is supporting documents I have to submit with this application
Thank you so much 👏🏻👏🏻
Hi! I have two question. I am applying as family-based aplicants but I am living in the country with Temporary Protected Status approved and have my work authoration card.

Thank you so much in advanced!
Filing this forme based on the previous one. I did answer No the first time, then I received the working permit. My question is answering the same parte do I have to change to my actual status ? Meaning since I got the working permit ?
I am filing for my parents and they are currently in USA. I have two kids. Should I answer 6 for Question 62? (applicant + applicant's spouse + myself(daughter) + my husband + my two kids)
Hi, in this form I 485, in the question 63 and 64… are asking income and assets of the beneficiary? Or peticionary?…I asking because in the star of the form are asking información about the person applying for the lawful permanent residence…hope you can answer 🙏🏻 thank you so much

Hi! If I want to submit i-693 waiver for religious beliefs, when should I send it in, when I file all my other forms or when I get a date for the green card interview? Thank you and thank you for your videos, they are such great help! ❤
