I-864 for Siblings

[mary81 2]

Hi VJ friends-

When it says: Your obligations under a Form I-864 will end if the person who becomes a permanent resident based on a Form I-864 that you signed:

1. Beneficiary becomes citizen

2. Beneficiary has worked, or can be credited with, 40 quarters of coverage under the Social Security Act;

Does this mean as soon as the beneficiary starts work petitioner's obligation will end on that day, I mean is there a certain amount of hours or months should beneficiary work or as soon as employment starts, its done ?

40 quarters is about 10 years of work. So it's not as soon as someone starts working you're off the hook.

The US social security works on quarters of the year , so after 40 quarters of making a certain amount of reportable income you would be off the hook. It could be 10 years it could be never.
