In this segment, attorney Lorena Rivas explains the U.S. immigration “public charge” rule, which aims to prevent individuals from entering the United States solely to rely on government benefits. She outlines how the rule’s enforcement has expanded: beyond evaluating the sponsor’s income, officials will now assess the applicant’s own income and work capacity, age, health history, family size, any prior use of public benefits by the applicant or their family, and the applicant’s education level. These factors collectively determine whether an individual may be deemed a public charge and thus inadmissible or ineligible for visa or adjustment of status.
