Гражданство США

Привет всем!

Подскажите, если семья пользуется гос.помощью по приезду в штаты, влияет ли это в дальнейшем на получение гражданства в США???

можно пользоваться большинством федеральных и штатных программ.

единственное, что не нужно делать это не стать у государства "нахлебником", т.е полностью зависеть от него финансово. вот определение:

What is "Public Charge" and When Do Immigrants Need to be Concerned About a "Public Charge" Determination?



A "public charge" is an immigrant who is likely to become "primarily dependent on the government for subsistence"





Although the INS is careful to note that providing an exhaustive list of non-cash benefits is not possible, the proposed rule does list several types of benefits that may not be considered for public charge purposes, including:(13)



Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program, and other health insurance and health services, other than support for long-term care;

food stamps, WIC, and other nutrition programs;(14)

housing benefits;

child care services;

energy assistance;

job training;

educational assistance; and,

similar state and local programs.
