How USCIS Rescinded the 2022 Public Charge Rule in 2026

The USCIS rescinded the 2022 public charge regulation on July 16, 2026, effective September 18, 2026. This change restores immigration officers' ability to consider all relevant public benefits when deciding visa and green card applications. Applicants in Raleigh, NC and Orlando, FL should prepare for a broader review of their financial status and public benefit use under the new rule. The revised Form I-485 will be mandatory for adjustment of status filings after September 18, 2026.
