El Servicio de Ciudadan\u00eda e Inmigraci\u00f3n de EE.UU. (USCIS) public\u00f3 el 18 de agosto de 2026 una gu\u00eda actualizada en su Manual de Pol\u00edticas sobre c\u00f3mo decidir\u00e1 si una persona que pide la residencia permanente por ajuste de estatus es probable que se convierta en \u00abcarga p\u00fablica\u00bb. La gu\u00eda aplica a los Formularios I-485 con matasellos o env\u00edo electr\u00f3nico a partir del 18 de septiembre de 2026, es decir, a las solicitudes que se presentan ahora.<\/p>\n

\"Infograf\u00eda:<\/figure>\n

Qu\u00e9 cambi\u00f3 y cu\u00e1ndo<\/h2>\n

La gu\u00eda desarrolla una regla final del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) que rescinde la regulaci\u00f3n de carga p\u00fablica de 2022. El DHS la anunci\u00f3 el 16 de julio de 2026, se public\u00f3 en el Federal Register el 20 de julio y entr\u00f3 en vigor el 18 de septiembre, seg\u00fan el aviso de USCIS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to el comunicado del 16 de julio<\/a>, la regulaci\u00f3n de 2022 limitaba los beneficios p\u00fablicos que el DHS pod\u00eda considerar. Con la nueva regla, los oficiales eval\u00faan los hechos pertinentes caso por caso. USCIS tambi\u00e9n inform\u00f3 que publicar\u00e1 un Formulario I-485 revisado y que no aceptar\u00e1 versiones anteriores con matasellos o env\u00edo electr\u00f3nico a partir de la fecha de entrada en vigor.<\/p>\n

Qui\u00e9n est\u00e1 sujeto y qui\u00e9n est\u00e1 exento<\/h2>\n

Todos los solicitantes de ajuste de estatus est\u00e1n sujetos a esta causal de inadmisibilidad, salvo que apliquen en una categor\u00eda exenta. Entre los sujetos figuran c\u00f3nyuges, hijos y padres de ciudadanos; hermanos de ciudadanos; c\u00f3nyuges e hijos de residentes permanentes; trabajadores prioritarios, inversionistas e inmigrantes de la loter\u00eda de visas de diversidad.<\/p>\n

Entre las categor\u00edas exentas, USCIS menciona a asilados y refugiados, solicitantes bajo la Ley de Ajuste Cubano, solicitantes de estatus de protecci\u00f3n temporal (TPS), menores inmigrantes especiales, v\u00edctimas de trata (T) y de ciertos delitos (U) y autopeticionarios bajo la Ley de Violencia contra las Mujeres (VAWA).<\/p>\n

Qu\u00e9 factores pesan en la decisi\u00f3n<\/h2>\n

El oficial debe considerar cinco factores que fija la ley: edad; salud; situaci\u00f3n familiar; activos, recursos y situaci\u00f3n financiera; y educaci\u00f3n y destrezas. Tambi\u00e9n puede tomar en cuenta la declaraci\u00f3n jurada de patrocinio (Formulario I-864) y cualquier otro factor pertinente, como la recepci\u00f3n de beneficios p\u00fablicos sujetos a prueba de recursos. La decisi\u00f3n se toma caso por caso, con la totalidad de las circunstancias.<\/p>\n

La gu\u00eda distingue por fecha los beneficios recibidos:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Antes del 18 de septiembre de 2026: solo se consideran la asistencia p\u00fablica en efectivo para mantenimiento de ingresos y la institucionalizaci\u00f3n a largo plazo a cargo del gobierno.<\/li>\n
  • A partir del 18 de septiembre de 2026: USCIS indica que considerar\u00e1 \u00abtodos los beneficios\u00bb.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Fianzas de carga p\u00fablica<\/h2>\n

    La gu\u00eda tambi\u00e9n explica las fianzas. USCIS puede invitar a pagar una fianza solo cuando el oficial concluye que la persona es inadmisible \u00fanicamente por ser probable carga p\u00fablica. Se usa el Formulario I-945 y solo se acepta si el solicitante fue invitado mediante una Notificaci\u00f3n de Intenci\u00f3n de Negar; USCIS no recibe fianzas de quienes no fueron invitados.<\/p>\n

    La fianza puede ser en efectivo o de una aseguradora certificada por el Departamento del Tesoro. El monto depende de la asistencia que la persona podr\u00eda recibir en los siguientes cinco a\u00f1os. Si se cumple con las instrucciones del formulario y de la notificaci\u00f3n, el oficial puede aprobar la solicitud.<\/p>\n

    What does it mean to you?<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Si vas a pedir ajuste de estatus en una categor\u00eda que no est\u00e1 exenta, tu I-485 se eval\u00faa con esta gu\u00eda si lo presentas a partir del 18 de septiembre de 2026.<\/li>\n
    • Si tu categor\u00eda est\u00e1 exenta, como asilo, refugio, TPS o la Ley de Ajuste Cubano, esta causal no te aplica.<\/li>\n
    • Los beneficios recibidos desde el 18 de septiembre se eval\u00faan de forma m\u00e1s amplia que los recibidos antes de esa fecha.<\/li>\n
    • Si tienes un patrocinador, el Formulario I-864 puede formar parte de la evidencia.<\/li>\n
    • Antes de cambiar el uso de alg\u00fan beneficio, consulta con un abogado de inmigraci\u00f3n o una organizaci\u00f3n acreditada; esta nota explica la regla general y no es asesor\u00eda legal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      What can you do?<\/h2>\n

      Consulta el Manual de Pol\u00edticas de USCIS y las instrucciones del Formulario I-485 vigente en uscis.gov. Usa siempre la edici\u00f3n actual del formulario, porque USCIS inform\u00f3 que no aceptar\u00e1 versiones anteriores a partir de la fecha de entrada en vigor.<\/p>\n
