on the I485 Notice says
"If you or your spouse have ever received any public assistance (Welfare, food stamps, SSI, Medicaid etc) you must present evidence from the New York Department of Social Services that you are no longer receiving assistance, as well as verification of the Department knowledge of your marriage status and marriage date."
The problem I have is that I applied for foodstamps for my 3 kids early in the year -I was not able to receive foodstamps benefits because I do not have any immigration status or s.s.# at the time. I got married in July 2009, I never called to cancel the foodstamps since i have to recertify every year and I thought I would not recertify when that time comes along. Now the question asks if I ever received means tested public benefits.
Technically I have never received , it was my kids.
I dont know what to do , should I call Social Services and say that I got married and get that letter? In any event I will call the food stamps office and cancel this ..This is keeping back my application.
Thank you so much
