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

In Washington, the process for a child to apply for a waiver of the Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility is as follows: First, the child needs to submit a Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility to USCIS. This form must be accompanied by evidence of financial hardship, such as evidence of income, liquid assets, and other forms of financial support. The child must also include a Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, completed by a sponsor. Second, the child must submit evidence of the benefit they are likely to receive if they receive a waiver. This evidence should include a financial statement from the petitioner, documentation of the petitioner’s financial and family circumstances, and any other evidence that shows that the child would be a “public charge” if admitted. Third, the child must provide a medical examination showing that they are not inadmissible on health-related grounds. The child must provide evidence that they are not suffering from a communicable disease, that they have received appropriate vaccinations, and other health information as required. Finally, the child must submit any additional documentation that USCIS may require, such as birth certificates and documents to verify the child’s identity. Once all the necessary documents have been submitted and reviewed, USCIS will make a decision on the waiver request.

La exigencia de carga pública es una de las razones por las que un niño puede ser inadmisible para ingresar y permanecer en los Estados Unidos. Esta exigencia se basa en factores como el uso de ciertos programas gubernamentales o el ingreso estatal. Si un niño está a punto de entrar legalmente en los Estados Unidos y cumple con los requisitos de la regla de carga pública, puede solicitar una exención. El primer paso para obtener una exención de carga pública es completar una solicitud. La Oficina de Ciudadanía y Servicios de Inmigración (USCIS) ofrece formularios específicos para solicitudes de exención de la norma de carga pública. Estos formularios abarcan una variedad de situaciones, por lo que es importante familiarizarse con los requisitos para completar la solicitud adecuada. Una vez que el formulario sea aprobado, el niño deberá someter la documentación que pueda respaldar el caso de exención. Esto incluirá información sobre el estado financiero actual, la situación laboral y la situación de las asignaciones o subsidios recibidos. Es importante que todos los documentos sean legibles y relevantes. Una vez que se reciba la documentación completa, el trámite de la exención de la carga pública se completará en un plazo de 90 días. Si la solicitud se aprueba, el niño puede presentar su caso de inmigración de inmediato. Si la solicitud no se aprueba, el niño tendrá que volver a presentarla.
