Will partial unemployment affect my application?

[jordan21]

I am a US Citizen and I submitted I-130 and I-485 for my wife. Our application is currently being processed and my hours were recently cut at my job, due to COVID-19. I want to apply for partial unemployment, but I am afraid it could cause problems with the affidavit of support or the public charge rule. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Unemployment is an "earned" benefit since you / your employer paid into it.
This is not considered public charge & you should not have any issues

unemployment is not public charge and is actually taxable income that adds to your yearly salary total. Apply
