Hello,

My marriage of 9 years ended yesterday and as part of the discovery process, I found out that my ex-wife secretly petitioned for her mother to receive a greencard and used me on the Affidavit of Support, Form I-864 as a houshold member. She checked off box 11 which indicates that I completed form I-864A which would require my signature. I DID NOT SIGN SUCH A FORM. So now I am likely the main sponsor of her mother because my ex and her co-sponsor make minimum wage. How can I clear this situation up? I do NOT want to be responsible for this woman and my ex has gotten away with forgery.

Thanks for any help.

Is the mother a US citizen now? If so, you are off the hook one way or the other.

That being said, if your ex forged your signature on those forms, that is a serious crime, I'd file a police report

9 years are long time and if you just gone through messy divorce then I suggest to let it go. Its as hard as it sound, why would you want to go through pain again. Its not that big of a deal because you filed 864A as family member and now you are not part of household so you will not be entirely liable for immigrant. Yes you can pursue legal action for forgery but at immigration level, you will go through lots of hassel to prove your point.

No the mother has a green card. My ex left me the day her mother arrived. She only stayed with me to use me for this financial support unfortuntaley.

Thanks for the reply but....you are wayyy off. First of all I did NOT fill out any form for support. My ex did everything behind my back until her mother arrived including forging my signature and financial information on form i-864a. Also divorce would NOT eliminate my sponsorship of her mother (it is easy to find this information on the USCIS website).

"Note: Divorce does NOT end the sponsorship obligation."

This is not about revenge, this is about not being financially responsible for someone I did NOT agree to support

Write to USCIS and tell them.

You cannot initiate a prosecution for forgery. Only a prosecuting attorney can do that.

I would put USCIS on notice so you don't get screwed, but don't let the anger against the ex get ahold of you. Let that part go.

Thanks for the advice. My situation is more complicated in that the purpose of it was for my ex to get Citizenship and her mother to get a greencard. For me this is a matter of justice, not revenge.

There is the immediate need to submit the notice to the USCIS, also need to file and report with the local non-emergency authorities.

You are correct in that until the (ex-mother-in-law) is naturalized that you can be held responsible for her and this can be for so much more than just financial matters.

You can also be sued by your ex-mother -in-law if you fail to provided support.

You will also in my opinion need to seek legal representation.

This matter and and will be very tricky but you want to make sure that you get on top of it right away because per the USCIS once you find out you are to notify them right away.

Good Luck, and God Bless .....

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I knew no other way than this, where 'I' does not exist, nor 'you'. So close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

if your ex-mother in law has already become US citizen or she has credit of 40 qualifying quarters of work in US ( usually equals to 10 yrs of work in social security knowledge), your no more liable for her support.

Read item 11 in form I-864 (instructions for Affidavit of support)

If it were me I would go to your local police department and go from there, the district attorney works for the tax payers in your city/county.

I would also make a infopass (I have heard various reports if they care of not) and make them take a report of your findings.
