I feel I should know this..

..but I don't!

When we did our initial CR-1 application (overseas), the embassy asked us for an additional working sponsor in the US as neither of us was working even though we had ample assets to meet the requirements.  My brother signed as additional sponsor and GC was issued without problem.  We are now ready to be scheduled for an interview to remove conditions.  Am I correct that once 10 year GC is issued, my brother will no longer be responsible?

Thank you!

I don't believe so.

 

My understanding of the joint sponsor thing is that are no longer responsible if 

 

1. the LPR becomes a US citizen 

2. the LPR has worked for 10 years 

3. the LPR dies 

4. the LPR leaves the US

5.  the LPR gets a new green card in relation to being deported, or something. 

 

So my understanding is that your brother will still be a responsible and for a bit longer too.

Ah..I knew that was case for primary sponsor, didn't realize it was the case for secondary sponsor.  Thank you.
