Public Charge: Declaration of Self-Sufficiency (Form I-944) and
Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA (Form I-864)
NOTE:
On July 29, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York (SDNY) in State of New York, et al. v. DHS,
et al. and Make the Road NY et al. v. Cuccinelli, et al. enjoined
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from enforcing,
applying, implementing, or treating as effective the
Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds Final Rule (“Public
Charge Final Rule”) for any period during which there is a
declared national health emergency in response to the COVID-19
outbreak. (84 FR 41292, Aug. 14, 2019, final rule; as amended by
84 FR 52357, Oct. 2, 2019, final rule correction). Subsequently,
on August 12, 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit, in State of New York, et al. v. DHS, et al. and Make the
Road NY et al. v. Cuccinelli, granted an administrative stay of
the July 29, 2020 nationwide injunction in all states outside of
the Second Circuit, i.e. all states except New York, Connecticut,
and Vermont. This stay allows DHS to continue implementing the
Public Charge Final Rule everywhere except in New York,
Connecticut, and Vermont. During the injunction, applicants who
physically reside in New York, Connecticut, or Vermont should not
submit Form I-944, Declaration of Self-Sufficiency.
