Lifting conditions - Sponsor not wanting to go through with signing any further documentation

[etapia 32]

Hello All,

 

I am trying to find out what to do if I feel like now my husband may have come here under false pretenses.  He and I have not been doing well and I am not wanting to go through with lifting the conditions for his green card.  Can I get removed as being his sponsor? Does he still need me to go through with lifting the provisions?  He is trying to go through with it but can he do that and I be removed?  Very emotional times so please be nice.

No, there is no further requirement for lifting conditions or filing the I751 for the person that signed the I485 for either the AOS or a CR1 visa.  The person lifting conditions can proceed on their own if a divorce happens, and the person that signed the I864 originally is still responsible until the sponsored immigrant attains 40 quarters of work credit or becomes a US citizen.

 

Sorry for your troubles, but it is what it is.

1.  He doesn't need you to complete his removal of conditions.  He can do it on his own with a divorce waiver.

2.  You cannot be removed as his sponsor until he has attained citizenship, gained 40 quarters of work credit, lost his status and departed the US, or has died.

3.  If you have solid evidence of fraud, you can report it to USCIS.  But remember that you have already provided a LOT of evidence that the relationship is bona fide.

i honestly have a child with this man and we just do not get along. I do not want to ruin his life but do not want to be his sponsor because he is very irresponsible. This is so difficult.

1. You are still hooked in terms of i864 commitments that you signed. No more sponsorship required for i751 though.

2. He cannot lift conditions on his own if you two remain married or even remain separated.

3. He can lift conditions on his own if divorced.

The I-864 is a binding legal document.

So therefore I am stuck with being his sponsor for the next 10 years unless he decides to change it.  He has every right now but I have no rights in this as an american citizen.

That is correct, but as @Lucky Catpointed out, there are other outs, not just the 40 quarters of work.

It could be longer than 10 years.  There is no limit until one of the conditions I listed is met.

You signed the document. Therefore you accepted the terms and conditions... If he becomes a citizen then I presume it'll be less than 10 years. it would be best for you if he becomes one sooner rather than later.

Do you have solid evidence that he came here fraudulently?

If  you divorce, he then can  procede with ROC himself.. but he will be questioned regarding the validity of the marraige as bonafide. If you do not divorce, he cannot proceed with ROC without you

I wouldn't worry about it. The govt won't come after you telling to feed him or to give him money or recuperate money if  he uses any benefits. It can but it won't.

 

You worry about divorce terms if you are heading there.

Thank you so much this helps substantially.
