CrazyCat .... (not sure how to quote you)

 

If she doesn't want to become a US citizen, can I force the issue legally? She has no reason to change anything. She lives here for free.

My first impression is that you were hosed.   And you used a Divorce Lawyer?

An attorney can challenge anything.  I think your winning would be an extremely long shot.  Never heard of anyone being forced to naturalize.

I found this on a legal website. 

 

"The sponsored immigrant has fulfilled the forty quarters of work defined by the Social Security Administration."

 

I was hoping the fact that she can show income for several years, would count towards those 10 years.

Income claimed on a 1040 is not the same as Social Security Administration work credit.

The IRS and Social Security Administration are different agencies.

Force someone to Naturalise, strong No.

Living for free, through the Divorce agreement? Really a Divorce Lawyer question.

Boiler, 

 

Not living free through the Divorce agreement. Well sort of. I gave her 250k in cash as a settlement, and 4k a month is mandated from the I-864. I don't pay any monthly alimony.

Based on a actual court order?  The I-864 is an agreement between you and the US government...not between you and your ex.

Nothing is mandated from the I 864. And if it was it would not be 4k.

Are you saying the 4k was part of the divorce settlement?

Maybe if there is a lot of children, and I mean a lot.

I had 1 figure wrong. it's 2k a month, not 4k. I just looked at my pay stub. (first time I checked it after divorce).

 

So, I must pay her 2k a month just from the Affidavit of Support. I pay zero alimony because we settled on 250k payout. This large payout is in no way related to my monthly support from Affidavit of Support I signed. This was a divorce settlement. This let me keep my home and 401k which is worth waaaaay more than 250k. 

 

Also, no children. And I gave her a Mercedes, which she was using anyway. But I gave it as part of the settlement.
