W live in California. If my wife apply for Medi-Cal, will it affect her naturalization in the future?
 
I think the reason you are not getting any replies is because a lot of us have no clue of what Medi-Cal is ;)
 
Gotcha. No, it will not affect any natz decisions.
Regarding an affidavit of support: if you signed I-134 then you don't need to repay anything as it's not binding. If you signed I-864 (if you petitioned for your wife), then you may need to repay some benefits as this document is binding. For more info check out the www.nilc.org website, specifically this page http://www.nilc.org/ce/ceindex.htm where public charge and how it affects immigration benefits is well explained. Also, they sell a wonderful book there (Guide to federal benefits) which is well worth the money if you are considering any public assistance for yourslef or your family.
Good luck
SV
