Does citizenship null and void that contract we all had to sign? Everything is okay here, but chit happens, kid was hit by an illegal and couldn't get a cent of claim for his loss, brother-in-law worked for the same company for 47 years that went bankrupt taking away all of his retirement pay and medical coverage.
Natural disasters, company downsizing, jobs being shipped to China also play a factor. Know in my community, plenty of both government and private aid for illegals, but they didn't sign the I-864.
I would think after citizenship, you are no longer a permanent resident but a US citizen, and would think that contract would be null and void, but never found anything written to that effect.
And after you are a US citizen, do you still have to inform the USCIS where you are, get permission to leave the country if over a year, ha, know you still have to register for selective service if a male between 18 and 25 years of age and pay taxes. Just not sure about the rest.
Full Version: What Happens with the I-864 after citizenship?
I think that when one becomes a US Citizen, the person is FREE from USCIS and his / her rights are the same as a born US CITIZEN.

It's written on the I-864, among other places. Just above the place where the sponsor signs. It says the I-864 terminates when the person being sponsored becomes a citizen (or accumulates 40 quarters of work, leave the US permanently, or dies).

When you're a US Citizen, you do NOT have to inform the USCIS where you are, get permission to leave the US, or anything else like that. When you're a naturalized US Citizen, you're just as much a citizen as a native-born citizen, except that you can't become president. You don't have any more dealings with the USCIS, unless you want a replacement naturalization certificate. The other potential dealing with the USCIS might be if you as a US citizen want to petition the USCIS to bring in someone else as an immigrant.
US Citizens are subject to the same laws regarding draft registration and paying taxes, whether naturalized or native-born. And all US Citizens are subject to the same penalties regarding failure to observe those laws. For US Citizens, those penalties don't include deportation or loss of status. Permanent residents or aliens may be subject to deportation or loss of status in some cases.
