No. Receipt of means-tested public benefits does not disqualify anyone from being a sponsor. However, means-tested public benefits cannot be accepted as income for the purposes of meeting the income requirement.

Is a green card holder over 65 who has no authorization to work eligible for medical benefit?

There is a time limit after entry into the country before you would be eligible for any public benefits. But if you do receive public means tested services, your sponsor (which all green card holders are required to have) would be liable for the dollar amount of any such services you received. This means that if you take means tested health benefits, the government will make the sponsor pay the medical bills.


If your boyfriend is a US citizen but jobless and you are planning to get married can his mother sponsor you and how does this work?

Your boyfriend can file you, and list his mother as the sponsor. His mother has to earn enough money to be able to support herself and her dependents, as well as you. When she files the paperwork to sponsor you, she is telling the government that she will take care of you. She can be sued if you ever end up getting food stamps or other public benefits.

How can you sponsor your parents to become American residents if you are American citizen but they are not?

you would need to file a I-130 as your parents qualify as immdiate relatives. However, they would still need to have a clean police record, healthy, and prove that they are not likely to become a public charge. Related to that, you, as their sponsor, would be liable for any income needs based benefits they receiive in the US.


Does your Citizen wife having section 8 affect you getting your green card status?

Yes, if section 8 is a means tested public benefit, which i believe it is. In order to bring you into this country and get a green card, she has to sponsor your entry into the U.S. This means that she will be held responsible for repaying the government for any means tested public benefits you may receive. You must be sponsored to ensure the government that you wont be a public charge. Basically this means that she will be taking care of your needs while you are here. Now the fact she is on section 8 is problematic because it shows she cannot support herself. So the government will be extremely suspicious about her ability to sponsor you. If she cant support herself, how will she be able to possibly support you? See, that's a problem. Your petition may be denied if she is considered to be an unsuitable sponsor (this may be true even if there is a joint sponsor)
