Petitioned dad, hardheaded

[kiray2008 0]

My dad doesn't want to listen to me. He is not living with me now. He's living with his friend who are just feeding him and are not providing any healthcare insurance. They make him work and does everything they ask him to do. I'm worried that he might get sick and encounter an emergency. What will I do? Can I ask the homeland security for him to be deported? Please reply to this because he's giving me a lot of problems. Can I ask the Homeland Security form him to be deported because I can't afford for him to stay here anymore? mY FAMILY IS GROWING AND HE'S JUST GIVING US PROBLEMS

I don't get it. What is he doing that he could be deported for? If he's not living with you, what does the size of your family matter?

well it sounds like you are worried because you are financially responsible for him? However, being deported is not just a piece of cake. You have to actually do something illegal in the eyes of the goverment before you get deported, and your dad is definately not doing anything along those lines. Dependin on his age and status, maybe you can apply for his medicare and or medicaid. If he is living in a seperate household, then you are not financially supporting him, right?

If he is comfortable doing the work his friend is making him do, then I guess he is happy and probably won't fall sick if he is content.

dont worry

You cannot ask for someone to be deported. So long as an LPR is not violating any laws, he/she is not deportable. One of the risk when petitioning for a family member is that the person will be a pain in the neck for the petitioner once he/she gets a green card. There is nothing you can do. You are not legally responsible for your dad. He is an adult. The only thing you are responsible for is reimbursing the government ever comes after you if your dad receives a means-based benefit.

Your dad does not qualify for Medicare as he has not paid into the system - it's an entitlement program. You may be liable for reimbursing for any Medicaid benefits your dad receives - this is a means-based program (i.e., welfare for the poor). Emergency Medicaid is not means-based.

Have you always had control issues?

Your father has a will of his own.

You can't use Homeland Security to spank him or bend him to your will.

Who is the Parent and who is the child????

You Father is an adult. You can not just have him deported just because in your eyes he is causing you some issues. He is not a disposable asset for you to send away when it is not convinent for you anymore.

Get on with your life and be happy that your father is getting on with his life, he does not need your approval to live his life.

Exactly right. You have a financial obligation as a sponsor; of which you knew -or should have known- when you sponsored him. You cannot "get him deported" because he won't live HIS life the way YOU want him to. Sheesh, really.

He's your father! You agreed to act as his immigration sponsor, you signed the paperwork. Now just because it may cost you money you want him deported? And you want the government to foot the bill for you? "MY FAMILY IS GROWING AND HE'S JUST GIVING US PROBLEMS" - ####### is wrong w/ some people?!

You want to deport your father? Were you his sponsor? If you were his sponsor and he has adjusted status-then you are responsible for making sure he does not become a public burden on everyone else.

This story is confusing.

Huh??? Where in the OP posting does it say anywhere that s/he sponsored the father?

That might be the case, but aren't we jumping to conclusions here?

All OP said was "I can't afford him". Maybe she meant she can't afford his 3-packs a day cigarette habit?

brother Scandal -- the title of the topic sayd "petitioned dad" so yup, I am assuming the OP is the sponsor. Then I read the bolded parts. Seems to me the OP wants her/his dad to dance to his/her drum; and that is plain wrong. And there is not a darn thing he/she can do to "get dad deported".

that's what I was referring to. Though I must add: my sense of responsibility to my elders is something very very ingrained in me. Hence, the thought of saying "I cannot will not do X or Y for my parents or my inlaws" plain sickens me.

In the header the OP states Petitioned dad.

To the OP why would you bring him here and then want to deport him? Was he a hardwoker before coming? We are missing some of the story like how was your dad in his home country supporting himself? What type of work etc? Maybe instead of the deprting thing you can help him find a job? You have been here loiger them him. And yes stop controlling the situation and deal with it as it will not go away. Do what you can to help him out................
