US Citizen needs Everyones Help

So sorry to hear

But all I can suggest is maybe contacting ICE with everything you've told us, could be a red flag especially so soon after he got the card.....Stay strong for you baby....

I have a question...... just how long is the I864 valid for?

In answer to your question:

Your obligation to support the immigrant(s) you are sponsoring in this affidavit of support will continue until the sponsored immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen, or can be credited with 40 qualifying quarters of work in the United States.

Although 40 qualifying quarters of work (credits) generally equate to ten years of work, in certain cases the work of a spouse or parent adds qualifying quarters. The Social Security Administration can provide information on how to count qualifying quarters (credits) of work.

The obligation also ends if you or the sponsored immigrant dies or if the sponsored immigrant ceases to be a lawful permanent resident and departs the United States. Divorce does not end the sponsorship obligation.

OP - I am sorry for what you are going through. Get on filing the police report, getting the annulment and making an infopass appointment. I wish you all the best.

thank you huys for your kind words

If you have a child with him it may be in your best interest that he stays. He will be obligated to pay child support.

i really dont care for a penny from this animal. i wish he had paid someone to get a greencard with that money rather than play with my heart so badly.

Maybe, I should rephrase the previous post - It may be in your child's best interest that he stays and pays child support. Even if you have a means of supporting yourself and your child, this guys wages should be garnished to help support the child he created. Regardless of the relationship between you and the child's father. The man should not be allowed to be a deadbeat dad. The principle behind child support is not him paying you, its supporting the child. It may feel like you are swallowing your pride, but I see no loss of dignity in holding this guys feet to the fire in the interest of his own child.

Divorce is complex even when a child isnt involved and there are alot of decisions you have to make in an emotional state that you could regret later. Personally, I would get a divorce lawyer involved or at least go talk to one.
