Can i withdraw co sponsorship after a 10 yrs GC to the husband

[Julie y Pat 67]

Don't forget about accumulating 40 work quarters!

sounds like he still has 40 quarters to go for that one

My opinion on this is as follows...

10 years ago when I got my first I129F, I had a lawyer to help us with the Affidavit of Support because I couldn't understand it to figure it out and the Philadelphia Field Office kept rejecting it on me.

He told me that legally this document means nothing as it was written by bureaucrats and not lawyers. It is not legally binding and any half decent lawyer could get a sponsor out of trouble if they were being pursued because of the affidavit. Basically his legal opinion was that it is not enforceable and no real point to fill it out, but its required and so he did his job and helped us fill it our properly.

By no means am I saying don't care about it, because ultimately you did sign an agreement with the Government, it's just the advice I got from my Philly immigration lawyer back in 2003.

Where do you see anything about protection? That is one attorney's opinion. No doubt there are other attorneys who feel the same way. And several that feel the exact opposite.

If you are sued to recover, you will need to hire one of those attorneys. That is the system.

Thank you.

What if he turned around and want to take her baby with him just to get the welfare and medical and all the benefit through a baby.

Is not fair for her and her co sponsor. Also, what if he don't want to get a divorce? Thank you

It's not her Baby. It's their child

Like I said, that was the opinion of 1 lawyer. He was a well known immigration attorney in Philly... this is only one opinion, so don't take it to heart, but know that if something could happen that perhaps the right attorney can fix things for you.

If he was talking about the I 134, then I would agree.

The I 864 is theoretically enforceable however you will go a long way to find examples of it being enforced.

No U cant deport him & he dont seem to be a fraudster, he seem to be a lazy man, tape & document threats , file for divorce, custody & child support (lazy man wont want custody yet, he gotta find someone else to bum off))

The USA is tightening up on those who dont want to work , they R not about to approve benifits to a single male new-comer to the country, so dont worry.

No, you cannot withdraw your sponsorship.

If your sister can provide good evidence that he only used her for a green card then she could report him to ICE and perhaps he could be convicted of fraud and deported.

It sounds like your BIL needs to get off the lazy train. If he wants to sponge off your family then tell him no and to get a job. If it leads to divorce, so be it.

ICE is very busy going after illegal aliens and felons, this case they will not care, the guy is legal in USA to prove otherwise it will be difficult, even under domestic violence behavior, reporting it from relatives; ICE will look at it as vindictive reporting. This is fact, although ICE job is otherwise.

Take note of the above. I-134 is just a guide for the consulate. It is non-binding.

Not really applicable to the OP's questions but the I-134, while not legally enforceable upon the sponsor, IS an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury. So, if you lie about your finances there, you can be prosecuted for perjury but not be required to repay the government or actually support the visa holder.

What strikes me about these Affidavit of Support is why the Social Services offices systems don't talk to USCIS/DOH systems to know factually when a person is new to the country and isn't eligible for welfare or support or whatever it is... Or does it? If the stops were in place, then what would be the purpose really of the Affidavit of Support? It seems it would just be a commitment from the people sponsoring the immigrant saying that they'll provide for them as needed until they can support themselves. Does the goverment really have time to track down these millions of people to ensure they're being supported? I doubt it, especially when they can't even staff their offices to process applications.
