Being enrolled in or benefiting from a public health insurance program for low income earners such as Medicaid, CalOptima, etc do not typically constitute becoming a public charge. The IO of course will have the final say as they will take into consideration all other situations/circumstances before deciding if one is likely to become a public charge or not.

Like I said, that on it's own does not constitute a public charge.

If a petitioner is receiving or has received some form of aid that constitutes a public charge, canceling the receipt of such or the fact that the person is no longer receiving the aid will not absolve them of being a public charge.

I have a question regarding this issue. I have a health insurance and it covers most of my medical bills but not all of it. Usually hospitals and clinics send me the bill with an option to apply for financial aid if I have low income. I am a student so I used this last year. It's called HCAP (Hospital Care Assurance Program). It covers the rest of expenses that my insurance doesn't cover. Will this make me a public charge? Although I have a job at the university for 18000$ a year as a graduate assistant.

Thanks mom, really appreciate your help. Another thing, Should I submit an affidavit of support form or just proving that I will be employed for next year is year is enought? I can get a letter from my department that says they will give me a graduate assistantship for next year but not the actual contract as we only get these at the beginning of every semester. I also have about 10000$ in my account, should I get a bank statement or it will not help in this case?

Including an affidavit of support has never been a bad idea - I recommend getting it.
 
What will be the current USCIS status of an international student in F-1 Visa (for filling in I-485 form)? I don't have A-number.
 
Do you guys know if it's necessary to include health insurance information in the AOS package? Like proof that I've had health insurance during my stay in the United States. Is that relevant for the application or not? Thank you in advance!

The AOS process spreadsheet already has a list of the documents we consider pertinent, please refer to it.
 
I know we can send the copy of diplomas or certificates. For translations, Can I send the copy of translations or the translations should be original?

Translations should be original, you keep the copy of the translation for yourself.

If and when we get to the interview, do we have to bring copies of HS diploma, birth certificate, and their translations, or are these documents required only once- with the AOS package? In other words, will we have to bring anything to the interview?

Never mind. This is mentioned in the spreadsheet. Sorry :)
 
Ok, we have to bring the original docs and its translation to the interview... But should the translations be original too, or can we just use the copies of the ones we already sent inside the package??
 
I am planning on submitting my AOS application tomorrow (my CN is current in Oct). I submitted my OPT application last week and have not received the NOA letter (I-797).
Should I wait until I receive the I-797 before submitting the AOS? Would it hurt anything if I submit the AOS without the I-797?
