The State Department has received emergency approval of its public charge visa questionnaire from the Office of Management and Budget, clearing the way for the agency to implement the questionnaire and the public charge rule beginning Monday.
Key points:
BAL Analysis: Visa applicants at U.S. consulates should anticipate that they will be required to fill out the new visa questionnaire form starting Monday. It is possible that the court could issue a preliminary injunction to stop implementation following the hearing on Thursday, Feb. 28. Meanwhile, applicants in the U.S., except for petitioners and applicants in Illinois, will be subject to the DHS version of the public charge rule starting Monday. BAL is following both rules and the lawsuits challenging them, and will continue to provide updates on developments as information becomes available.
