Withdraw of sponsership

[Sam0345 0]

Hey. I came to USA four months back on spouse visa and I have already received my conditional green card. My husband is my sponsper but he is unemployed. After coming here I came to know that my husband has some mental disorder and his parents lied to me and my parents. They tricked me. Now my in-laws are threatening me that they are going to withdraw my sponsership. But my husband doesn't want to divorce me. Is it possible that my in-laws can withdraw my sponsership without my husband's concern?

You already have a green card. They can do nothing yo you at this point.

No, they have absolutely no say in the matter. Even you husband has no say (he could divorce, but both the green card and the I-864 remains in effect).

 

If there was a divorce, you can file for ROC with a divorce waiver anyway.

Why was it up to your spouse's parents to confirm or deny his alleged mental disorder?  How did they trick you?

Get your husband some mental help -- even if you are not staying with him. Although he is unemployed, he might be able to get some free assessment with Medicaid since he is a US citizen. You might be able to know more after that.

Thanks Roel for your help.

I'm no legal expert but how would your in-laws withdraw your husband's sponsorship? Do they have power of attorney? If they got one while your husband's situation was present, you may want to seek some legal action against this. If they got one long time ago while he was still healthy, then you may want to talk to an immigration attorney about this. It is possible you could file ROC with a divorce waiver but you mentioned it's only been four months since you came. Not sure if you collected enough evidence at this point but again it would best to seek some professional advice.

Like others have already said it's a mute point.  You can't withdraw affidavit of support once green card has been issued.  It doesn't matter whether it's the petitioner themselves or someone else.  So no use wasting time running in circles.

An attorney wouldn't be a bad idea to help prepare for when ROC comes up.  But IMO taking a look at this situation from a practical perspective will be most helpful if the OP wants to ROC down the road.   

 

Sam0345, since you are already here and have a green card, remember YOU ARE the one in control here, not anyone else.  There are some important decisions you need to make.   Decisions such as do I really want to stay in the USA?  Do I want to stay married?  If you decide to stay here, it is imperative that you find employment ASAP so you can support yourself.  Working will give you the money and freedom to do what you choose and to be able to tell the meddling in-laws that you don't need them anyways .  Not to mention the huge bonus of being able to ROC without anyone holding your hand.  

 

It's important to keep in mind here that Sponsorship helps the government determine that someone won't be on welfare soon after immigrating.   It doesn't mean the government will force someone to pay your rent.  Bottom line is if a relationship goes sour, it's up to the person immigrating to take care of themselves.  (I'm not counting welfare checks as taking care of oneself.)

No, they can't withdraw the sponsorship.

Too late they are on the hook.

[Redheadguy03 505]

How exactly did they trick you? 

 

As stated before parents can't pull sponsorship. Also, since you have the green card already they can't really do anything to you. 

 

Not knowing what exactly the medical condition is, could you at least seek help for him?

Exactly 

[f f 725]

as others have said they can't pull the i864 you have your greencard and who ever sponsored it is on the hook and there is nothing they can do to take either of those from you.

as for the mental health issues you need to care for your husband and try to get him the help he needs before just leaving him since many issues can be managed with meds and therapy. though it will take time to stabilize.

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

Why did it take you so long to discover he has a mental disorder, did you not notice that
when you came here and before applying for the green card ? How do in laws "trick you" ? I don't understand that.
No, they can not affect your status now that you have the green card.
