10 YEAR GREEN CARD AND SEPARATION

[THAISHA1012 0]

Hi everyone, my situation is this.i've been with my husband for 8 years, married for 5, i just received my 10 year green card, we are going thru a separation now he is telling me he will say our marriage was fake, his sister was my joint sponsor and now she wants to withdraw the application..my question is is there anything that they can do to affect my status? i didnot get married because of the green card, but i would like to stay..somebody told my sister in law that he can just sign a paper saying that she's out..can they really do that? and if they say my marriage was a fake(wich it wasnt) immigration will let me prove them wrong..or at least defend myself? thank you.

After 5 years of marriage he would have a hard time proving immigration fraud, it's more like sour grapes. The sponsorship cannot be pulled, the sister-in-law and soon to be ex are both on the hook until you meet the requirements for otherwise.

Good luck to you and keep your chin up.

You are lawful permanent resident with a FULL UNCONDITIONAL card and there is absolutely NOTHING they can do about it.

You were together 8 and married 5 years, NOPE in my book that's NOT a sham marriage.

An NOPE Sponsor and joint-sponsor CANNOT withdraw sponsorship, they signed a BINDING contract with the US Government when they signed the I-864.

Sister-in-law will remain a joint sponsor.

Only 5 ways out of sponsorship and the I-864.

• Sponsor passes away.
• Green-card holder passes away.
• Green-card holder moves home and gives up green-card.
• Green-card holder works and is credited with 40 quarters of work.
• Green-card holder becomes a US Citizen.

I would move on and live life.

Moving this to other forum, it is not an AOS topic.

Hi! Sorry to hear this People are awful. As far as I know after receiving 10yrs green card there is nothing they can do to have you deported form US. I will suggest that you could apply for citizenship through naturalization

link for some info

Keep your head up !

ditto,

even if you divorce, that doesn't change anything with sponsorship. your sister-in-law cannot sign anything. the only ways their affidavit terminates are the reasons that the other poster mentioned.

it's in the instructions of the i864 affidavit of support.

they can't take your GC away.

so sorry it isn't working out.

Note, naturalization in this case would require 5 years of LPR status, if separated or divorced.

Will not affect you

[Harsh_77 718]

I would say the same, if you got your 10 yrs unconditional GC, there is nothing your ex can do. Your are present in the country lawfully, law give you benfit of doubt and advantage - that you left your home country and followed your spouse and started a new life in this country. On that they give you an opportunity to continue your life in the country even if you get divorced after 5 yrs.

[Brother Hesekiel 2,236]

Total nonsense. You've been your husband for 8 years, married for 5, have an unconditional Green Card . . . there's nothing he can do to hurt you in any way (immigration wise) short of producing hard evidence that you only married him for a Green Card . . . half a decade before you got it!

Wish him good luck with that one!

[JeroenAndMichelle 28]

If I were you, I would just turn the whole thing around. Since you're divorcing, I would go to court and ask half his stuff lol

And yeah, like everyone else said, they will not be able to do any of that. You can stay in the US as long as you want, the only condition to your green card is to renew it on time and not to stay out of the country for more than 185 days at once (but even if you do the latter, you can still file a waiver in order to keep your GC lol).

No worries
