The public charge rule changed — here is exactly what USCIS can and cannot consider on your green card case starting September 18, 2026.
On July 20, 2026, the Department of Homeland Security published a final rule rescinding the 2022 public charge regulation. It takes effect September 18, 2026. In this video, immigration attorney Joseph Botelho walks through what the 2022 rule did, what the rescission actually changes, the five statutory factors that never changed, the exemptions that are still on the books, and the four biggest myths already circulating about this rule.
If you are married to a U.S. citizen or a green card holder and you are preparing to file Form I-485, this is the video to watch before you file.
Immigration rules and processing times change often. Always check uscis.gov and the USCIS Policy Manual for the current guidance on your specific form and situation.
