What is the process for a child to apply for a waiver of the Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility?

The Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility is a law created by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for those who are attempting to enter the United States with visas or green cards. It prohibits individuals from entering the country if they are determined to become “a public charge”, which is a person who relies on the government for income or assistance. A child applying for a waiver of the Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility in Tennessee must provide evidence to demonstrate that they will not become a public charge. The evidence must demonstrate a sufficient source of income, usually their parents or family members who are willing to support them. If the child is unable to provide support, then they should be able to demonstrate that they have resources to be self-sufficient. The child must then submit an I-601 waiver application to the USCIS, which is a waiver of inadmissibility. The child must provide evidence of all of the information discussed above, as well as any additional documents supporting their application. This could include letters from family members, proof of income, and other documents. Once the I-601 waiver application is submitted, the child must wait for a decision from the USCIS. If approved, the child will be able to enter the United States freely. If the application is denied, then the child must reapply for a waiver or pursue other options. The process for a child to apply for a waiver of the Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility in Tennessee can be time consuming and complex, but it is possible if the proper documentation is provided. Those hoping to apply for a waiver should consult with an immigration lawyer to ensure that their application is in compliance with all the requirements of the USCIS.

En Tennessee, existen dos procesos para un menor de edad aplicar para exención de la cláusula de carga pública. Esta cláusula significa que los inmigrantes que buscan ingresar, unirse, o permanecer en los Estados Unidos pueden ser inadmisibles si el gobierno prevé que ellos son o serán una carga financiera para el gobierno. El primer proceso es el proceso I-601A, el cual es una solicitud de exención adelantada de la exclusión de carga pública. Esta solicitud se debe presentar al mismo tiempo que la solicitud de estatus de residencia (Formulario I-485). El Formulario I-601A se puede presentar de manera electrónica desde dentro de la nación con el uso de un usuario autorizado. El menor debe presentar la solicitud junto con documentación y registros financieros que demuestren que él o ella es menos probable ser una carga financiera para el gobierno. El segundo proceso es el formulario I-601. Esta solicitud se puede presentar después de que una solicitud de estatus se haya negado debido a la cláusula de carga pública. Esta solicitud se puede presentar desde fuera de los Estados Unidos. El menor debe presentar la solicitud junto con documentación adjunta que demuestre que él o ella es menos probable ser una carga financiera para el gobierno. Si la solicitud es aceptada, el menor será excluido de la cláusula de carga pública y se le permitirá ingresar a los Estados Unidos.
