Want to withdraw Affidavit of Support

[horseloverinfl 1]

Things didn't work out, and it's a real shame, but sometimes pride...intense and foolish...has consequences.

Under the regulations, I withdrew the affidavit of support, and the adjustment of status was denied (no green card). I believe that deportation proceedings are now underway. In defense, the immigrant (from Cuba) has dispensation and can try to get her green card another way, but it's no longer my problem.

Anyway...moral of the story is, you CAN withdraw the affidavit of support any time until the green card is issued. Again...it's a true shame after all that was done to make this relationship work, and it's just time to move on...heal the wounds...

I want o withdraw the affidavit of support, but he already has the two year conditional green card. Can I still withdraw the affidavit of support. he is irresponsible and I can not be responsible for his foolish actions and fraud. He came to America on the basis of love and shortly after getting his conditional GC he showed his real self. Please help. Thank you,

Ro

Looks like she found the <i><u>next</u></i> love of <u>her</u> life! I just found out she remarried already <img src="http://www.visajourney.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/kicking.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="kicking.gif" /> , after waiting the minimum 30 days after divorce (in Texas).

I do not know if she filed the Waiver for removal of conditions (her 2-year conditional green card expires April 24, 2009) prior to marrying this new guy. I understand she's "out of status" after the divorce and until filing for the Waiver.

Does anyone know what remarrying so quickly might do to her immigration status and/or waiver? I'm sorry I haven't scoured the site yet to see if there's other related postings.

Quite interesting... Just one week before the final divorce hearing, she was trying to reconcile with me to get back together - while she was "in congress" with her new boyfriend. She was trying to secure alternate arrangements in case her boyfriend weaseled out on her, I guess. Wow! Just reinforces that I made the right decision. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

Same happened here. Caught him red handed in a relationship. He already filed for removal of conditions based on Divorce. Had his conditional one year and begged me to stay married but separated until he gets his permanent GC. he verbally threatened me many times if I leave him without him getting his Green Card he will hurt my family, Abuse hotline did not help since there is no physical evidence. Oh, this is just the beginning of his con artists schemes. I need to know how I can withdraw the affidavit of support. Thank you, I am divorced now.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that if he has his green card, you cannot withdraw the I-864 anymore.

Your obligation ends when he either naturalizes, abandons his green card, works 40 qualifying quarters (10 years) or one of you die.

[belinda63 2,981]

Yep once he has the greencard you are on the hook. The original poster withdrew his affidavit of support prior to any green card having been issued.

Moderator hat off now . . .

Once a sponsored immigrant has the green card the Affidavit of Support cannot be withdrawn, even in a divorce. It can only end when one of the following condition is met: the immigrant leaves the US permanently; the immigrant dies; the sponsor dies; the immigrant obtains 40 quarters of qualifying employment ( 10 years) or the immigrant becomes a US citizen. If immigration fraud is involved, it is worth contacting ICE (the immigration fraud investigation unit) and asking them to pursue the case as it could end up with the immigrant being deported - which would then cancel the Affidavit of Support.

If the immigrant does not yet have his or her green card, then the sponsor can withdraw the Affidavit of Support and without a valid sponsor, the green card will be denied.

Those are really the only options available.

Thank you for moving the post and thank you for the answers. I will call ICE, it is up to them to decide what to do with him. I apologize to America and the American people for bringing one more headache to our country. God Bless.

NiNi123,

I'm sorry this happened to you but unfortunately, since he already has a green card, you are not able to withdraw your Affidavit of Support contract with the Government. They have already issued the green card and you can only withdraw the I-864 before they issue a green card. If he has a 10 year green card that means the marriage was already more than 2 years old when he entered the US. If you believe he deliberately entered a marriage with you only so he could come to the US, then your only option is to provide documentary proof of the fraud to ICE. If ICE investigates and discovers that he committed immigration fraud, and if they deport him, then you will no longer be 'on the hook' for the Affidavit of Support. It is more likely, unless you have compelling written evidence to support your claim, that nothing will happen. If you do not have documentary proof, then the best thing you can do is to divorce him and move on with your life. As was mentioned above, your Affidavit of Support contract with the US Government will remain in place until he becomes a US citizen (5 years), he obtains 40 quarters of qualified work employment (10 years), he permanently leaves the US, he dies or you die. I'm sorry.

Not possible.

When the marriage doesn't work out, both parties seem to claim themselves "the victim". The foreigner-victim of abuse, USC-victim of fraud.

I'm not saying that such things don't exist. Yet, Nini123, if he doesn't love you (any more) or living with you doesn't make him happy for some reason, then just let him go. Torturing yourself over how to make him deported just makes you more miserable.

Someone said you "are on the hook". I don't think he sued you or intend to sue you for financial support. Correct me if I'm wrong.

you do not have to divorce her in china, you can do so in usa.

You will be off the hook, if she will lose the status of permanent resident.

How Do I divorce from here is there some form from China I need?

[aaron2020 11,651]

Unfortunately, you cannot withdraw the I-864 after a green card has been issued.

The I-864 obligation will end when she losses her LPR status, one of you dies, or she becomes a US citizen.

She will need to file to remove the condition on her own after a divorce. If she stays an LPR for life, then your I-864 obligation will stay with you for a very long time.

There is nothing to report to USCIS if there is no fraud.

You can file for divorce in your state. How will be state specific since each state has its own divorce laws.
