The United States Supreme Court To Allow Public Charge Rule To Take Effect

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a Trump Administration policy expanding the government’s ability to refuse immigrant visas and issue green cards to immigrants who are likely to become a Public Charge. The 5-4 ruling, which was divided on ideologically lines, will allow the new rule to take effect even as lower federal courts wrestle with multiple legal challenges that have been brought before them as a result of the policy.

Immigrant rights groups have criticized the policy arguing that it will discourage new immigrants from seeking necessary services and impeding immigrant visas from being issued in U.S. Embassies and Consulates abroad.

Immigrant visa refusals based on a Public Charge finding have significantly spiked under the Trump Administration. More than 12,000 immigrant visa applicants were refused in 2019 alone compared with only 1,033 in 2016 which was the last year of the Obama Administration.

Visa applicant’s based in the Philippines, Vietnam or Taiwan who have been refused immigrant visas based on Public Charge are encouraged to contact an experienced U.S. immigration lawyer in Manila, Ho Chi Minh City, or Taipei.

Affiliated Job-Creating Entity From The RIA

The term “affiliated job-creating entity” is an important term of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”). Under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, foreign investors who participate make an investment in a new business that employs U.S. workers and can obtain lawful permanent residence in the United States. A company that is owned, run, or controlled by individuals associated with the new business endeavor or the EB-5 Regional Center is considered an “affiliated job-creating entity” in this context. According to this, a company falls under this category if it has ties to the people who control the business or Regional Center. These associated entities play a critical role in achieving the job creation objectives of the EB-5 program. These entities are not isolated in their activities; rather, they are closely linked to new business ventures and regional hubs that manage the flow of capital and ensure the development

Understanding Form I-864A: Contract Between Household Member and Sponsor

For many family-based immigrants applying for a Green Card, a key step in the process is the submission of Form I-864, Affidavit of Support (“I-864”). This is a legally binding contract in which the sponsoring family member (“Sponsor”) agrees to financially support the intending immigrant (“Beneficiary”). However, in some cases, the “Sponsor” alone may not have sufficient income or assets to meet the required financial support threshold. That is where Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member (“Form I-864A”) comes into play. A Form I-864A, is used when a household member—such as a spouse, adult child, parent, or other relative residing at the same address—agrees to combine their income with the Sponsors to meet the minimum financial requirement. The household member must be willing to commit to support the Beneficiary alongside the Sponsor by signing the Form I-864A. It is important to understand the difference between the I-864 and
