Looking for information on affidavit support

[moon1968 0]

I'm not sure if this is the right place but I do need help with info on the affidavit of support... My husband signed to sponsor friend from Nigeria to the US. He was already here on a K-1 visa and married his wife. Her parents were his original sponsor however the pulled out at which time my husband agreed to become his sponsor. Now the problem... His wife has turned out to be mentally unstable and an acholic and has been thrown out of every home that has been provided for them until he can start work.... She has been locked up twice now and police know her by name. They are completely homeless at this point and are in a motel until friday which then all they have is a car..... She is so messed up she is unable to work and does get some money (very little) from disability. Our fear now is will we be held liable to support the both of them?. we have tried our best but because of her mental state there is nothing we can further do to help them. what should we do?

Has he received his GC yet? 

When did he enter the US? And when did you sign the I-864?

He does not have his green card. My husband signed it about 6 to 8 months ago....

That is very unfortunate.

The only issue your husband would face is repaying any public benefits that your immigrant friend could receive. He is not obligated to provide financial support.

If the friend hasn't received his green card yet your husband can withdraw his i-864. 

He doesn't have to provide financial support to the wife or the husband for day to day expenses.

Your husband can write USCIS to pull his joint sponsorship if friend hasn't received Greencard yet.
