YOUR GREEN CARD COULD BE AFFECTED What USCIS Will Look at Starting September 18

USCIS public charge rules are changing on September 18, 2026 — and if you are applying for a Green Card, filing Form I-485, sponsoring a family member, or preparing for adjustment of status, you need to understand what this means for your case. In this video, America Immigration Hub explains the new USCIS public charge guidance, what immigration officers may look at, who may be affected, and what applicants should know before filing Form I-485. We break down the five major factors discussed in the guidance: age, health, family status, financial resources, and education and skills. We also explain how USCIS looks at the totality of the circumstances rather than relying on one single number or factor. You will also learn about: • USCIS public charge rules for Green Card applicants • September 18, 2026 public charge changes • Form I-485 and the new filing-date rules • Public benefits and how they may be considered • Family-based Green Card applicants • Employment-based applicants • Form I-864 Affidavit of Support • Income, savings, assets, debts and employment history • Education, skills and employment prospects • Benefits received by applicants versus U.S. citizen children • Humanitarian categories and public charge exemptions • What applicants should prepare before filing • Why the filing date can matter • What the new guidance does NOT automatically mean Most importantly, this video does not say that receiving a public benefit automatically causes a Green Card application to be denied. The public charge analysis involves the overall circumstances of the applicant, and every immigration case can be different. If you are preparing Form I-485 or have questions about how public charge rules may apply to your individual situation, review official USCIS information and consider speaking with a qualified immigration attorney or accredited representative.
