How valid is affidavit of support after divorce
I just got divorced from my wife 2 months back. I am a US citizen and I sponsored her on I-130. The only thing is that her affidavit of support was given by me and my brother jointly.
Now after divorce do we both, still hold her responsibility (if yes, upto what point and extent). What if she does something illegal or wrong, while my given affidavit is still valid?. Is there a way that affidavit can be voided now (atleast from my brother’s side). Rest I think till she becomes citizen, affidavit will be valid.
A divorce does not end the liability of a sponsor(s) on I-864. It will only terminate by certain events, her becoming a USC is one of them.
If she does anything unlawful you are not responsible for it.
You are responsible only for the cost if she claims any means tested benefits such as Welfare, Food stamps, Medicaid etc. You and your brother will have to reimburse the government for that.
Hello
Thanks a lot for your response. From where can I get access to legal information regarding what all liabilities and responsibilities we still hold because of affidavit of support. Especially in case I need to convince my brother. Any uscis article or other information source
Hello
When can she file I-751 ?. Does she still need to wait till GC expiration date or anytime she can file (though its not 2 yrs yet) ?. But I believe untill she gets citizenship, affidavit liability will be valid (even through process of getting citizenship)
