Finally, with respect to an alien in the United States minnesota vikings ugly christmas sweater who is eligible to adjust status from a nonimmigrant classification to that of a lawful permanent resident, and the alien is subject to INA 212, 8 U.S.C.

“primarily dependent” standard, and in light of Congress’ unequivocal policy goal articulated in PRWORA, DHS has concluded that the “primarily dependent” minnesota vikings ugly christmas sweater standard is not the only permissible interpretation of what it means to be a public charge, and is in fact suboptimal when considered in relation to the goals of the INA and PRWORA. After considering the comments, DHS agrees with the commenters that an assessment of whether the nonimmigrant is “likely to receive public benefits” for the expected period of stay, which included the option for USCIS to request submission of a Form I-944 as part of an RFE, might have been similar to a public charge inadmissibility assessment. In addition, applying a prospective
element to the public benefits condition would likely be redundant and unnecessary given the finite nature of nonimmigrant status and stay. To the extent DHS grants an extension of stay to a nonimmigrant subject to the public benefit condition after determining that the alien had not received public benefits, and a nonimmigrant subsequently wishes to apply for another, the condition would apply again. The same would apply to a change of status. If, however, an alien leaves the United States after holding nonimmigrant status, and seeks a new nonimmigrant or immigrant visa based on a classification that is subject to INA 212, 8 U.S.C. 1182, then the public charge ground of inadmissibility will apply. Similar to aliens who are not required to obtain a visa but are subject to INA 212, 8 U.S.C. 1182—DHS would apply the public charge ground of inadmissibility at the port of entry.
