10 years?

That's wrong.

40 work quarters ' usually ' are equivilant to 10 years according to the instructions on the affidavid of support form I-864.

Well, if divorced, that can be true. While married to a USC an alien can get credit for any qualifying quarter his spouse accrues too. So, in essence, if the marrie couple both work and make the required contribution to SSA to qualify for each calendar quarter, then it is possible to satisfy the Affidavit of Support in 5 years.

Of course, divorce not only stops the spouse's quarters from continuing to accrue, but the alien loses those quarters that his ex-spouse accrued while married.

The alien becoming a citizen can also happen in less than ten years but since it can take 10 years to get clear of the affidavit, I think the advisors are simply stating what to be prepared for.

The advisors are presuming the alien would wish to become a citizen too!
