Congress Rejects DHS Rule on Public Charge Ground for Inadmissibility.
This Congressional resolution aims to nullify a specific Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rule defining who can be deemed a "public charge" and thus denied permanent residency. If enacted, the criteria used to assess whether an immigrant applicant's use of public benefits affects their status would be invalidated. This action directly impacts the standards for reviewing Green Card applications for non-citizens.
Key points
The resolution disapproves and seeks to void the September 2022 DHS rule regarding the "Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility."
If successful, the specific standards for evaluating whether an applicant is likely to rely on government assistance will cease to have effect.
This action directly impacts non-citizens applying for permanent residency (Green Cards).
