I will be availing of federal student aid. Is it considered as public charge under the current definition and proposed expanded definition? Will it affect the immigrant status of a green card holder? Could it be grounds for denial of entry into the U.S., if someone goes out of the U.S. of visit their home country for a short a period? Will it later affect the application for naturalization?
