i have seen other posts on here saying  " i am a cosponsor and need to withdraw my affidavit of support ,  how do i do this?

and there are answers

 

If the person has already migrated then it's going to be pretty tough to pull the affidavit of support.

Again you are not understanding. This has to do with the Department of State not USCIS. DOS is the one making the final decision on the visa. Im sorry if you don't like it but the facts are facts. If you still are confused here are some links:

9 FAM 302.8-2(A)  (U) Grounds

(CT:VISA-483;   01-03-2018)

(U) INA 212(a)(4) provides that an applicant who is likely to become a public charge is inadmissible.  All immigrant visa (IV) and nonimmigrant visa (NIV) applicants, except those mentioned in 9 FAM 302.8-2(B)(6), are subject to a public charge ineligibility.

The State Department’s new “public charge” guidelines were issued on January 3, 2018, with little public notice, and went into effect immediately.

In January 2018, DOS revised the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) to instruct consular officers to consider a wider range of public benefits when determining whether visa applicants who have received or are currently receiving benefits are inadmissible on public charge grounds.

That link actually proves your previous statements to be wrong:

 

The Law: 

The primary immigration law today is the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (the INA, or the Act), as amended.  

Section 212(a)(4) of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(4)): “Any alien who, in the opinion of the consular officer at the time of application for a visa, or in the opinion of the Attorney General at the time of application for admission or adjustment of status, is likely at any time to become a public charge is inadmissible

@Roval good morning question are you in the united states now or still waiting? if you are not in the USA you do not have to worry about the public charge. The public charge is for those filing I-485 AOS (people adjusting their status)  it is not for us the CR1/IR1. as for your spouse it will not count against you but she has to make 125% or over if not she would have to get a co sponsor(family or friend). i have conformation on this i have been worried about the same thing and thought i would have to move but i read and asked and i got it. IR1/CR1s already will have their green card once at poe we dont need to adjust status now if you have been married less than a year you will only get a 2 yrs gc so when you go for your 10 year gc they may asked for you to do the I-944. I hope this help you out

The person you are quoting was wrong. Its not about if you are interested in government help. Its whether or not the CO determines that you may become a public charge. This will be based on you and your wife's personal situation
