While I was on OPT and my wife was pregnant, I did not have insurance. So we got help from State, got prenatal care insurance and we used it for around 4 months, about 6 doctor visits, or less. We did not use WIC or anything else. After that, I got my job and we had insurance, plus we paid everything else out of our pockets, whatever we needed to pay and did not ask for any additional help.

Now I am about to apply for I-485 there is a question in the form which says have you received any assistance? I am more inclined to say yes and explain what we got and what we used it for. I am inclined to say Yes on my wife's form and say No on mine, as technically she is the one who received it.

I know getting prenatal care is not Public Charge and should not affect the outcome of the application based on just this, but I wanted to get opinion from Sajha gurus, if anyone has been through this before and know if there was anything I should be careful about before I sent the form with YES for my wife's application.

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts/comments!
