US Citizenship and Immigration Services Rescinds 2022 Public Charge Regulation
A USCIS announcement describes the agency's own action. Legal effect, and the detail of how it applies, usually arrives separately in the Federal Register or the USCIS Policy Manual.
What the document says
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a final rule rescinding the 2022 Biden-era regulation regarding public charge determinations, further aligning immigration law with Congressional intent that aliens in the United States be self-reliant and not dependent on taxpayer-funded government benefits.
Who the document names
The document does not name specific countries or visa categories in its scope language. Read the original to confirm whether it applies to a particular case.
