This. If you decide not to do this, kiss goodbye to ever having your daughter or son in law visit you on the holidays again. 

Having been in that situation (as the immigrant son in law, whose wife was at university when we got married), I'll never forgive her aunt who talked her uncle out of co-sponsoring at the 11th hour (and before anyone asks about my wifes parents and why they didn't sponsor, one is not a us citizen and lives overseas, the other one died in a very traumatic incident during the filing process).  We were put in a last minute situation of having to decided to a) have my wife drop out of university, abandon all scholarships and get a low paying job b) us leaving the country or c) find a last minute co sponsor.

Thankfully we were able to do c) our half brother in law sponsored me, and I got citizenship last weekend. The likelyhood of your university educated son in law ever needing you to pay a cent to the government is slim to none. 

I was approved at Fairfax, VA yesterday.  Very straight forward, ceremony on Nov 6.  Congrats to others who were approved same day. 

- interviewer had a heavy accent, wore mask and didn't face me when asking questions, and often would ask single word questions, which even as a native english speaker made it hard for me to understand.  Once he said "Married?" and it sound like he was saying "Email?" - I found that by repeating his question before answering prevented misunderstandings. 
- I got one question wrong in civics (first one) before the next 6 right, completely blanked out on what were the rights provided by declaration of independence (life, liberty, happiness) 
- was asked if I'd provided weapons to others (which I had to clarify as I'd literally gone with my wife to the shooting range a week earlier), interviewer and I had a laugh about that one. 
- he had my entire copy of all paperwork I'd ever sent, and really appreciated that we'd sorted out each part of evidence with tabs from the orginal AOS and ROC filings, said that because of how well organized he really didn't need to ask me much. 

All in all very easy process, can't wait till the 6th when it's all over and I'll never have to think about USCIS ever again.

I would like to share 2 situations involving this form. One is about my sister. When she married her first husband, she didn't know he didn't make enough money so when he applied for her green card they were  requested to have a sponsor. He asked his parents, but they didn't sign it. Because of that, my sister was married for 4 years without a green card until he died from a heart attack and left her with 2 small children. It was a very hard situation for my sister. She later was able to get a green card, but life would had been better if she had gotten at that time.
Second situation is about myself. When I got married to my husband I also didn't know that he didn't make enough money (he was self-employed at that time). When he applied to my green card, we were requested to find a sponsor. He asked his parents and they decided to be my sponsor. They also had those questions, but we explained to them what really was. Now, 4 years later, life is so much better. I can work and be productive in this country. Our finances are so much better. We never needed the government help for anything. Because my in-laws, I will be soon be applying for my citizenship.

I can agree. It's also a bit insulting. As I stated, you would need to have low moral character and audacity to sue your inlaws or ex-inlaws for support. That's some serious entitlement. Maybe it's better he knows what his inlaws think of him now. As well as the daughter, she no knows how they really feel about her marriage.

Essentially, by saying "no" the parents are telling the son-in-law they don't trust him and most likely do not support the marriage. 
I can see how this is devastating to the new couple. Especially if one of their reasons for getting married/ starting the AOS process was because the parents offered their support. 
If my parents in law offered to help and then reneged on their agreement to help us out, I'd be questioning my relationship with them and might consider cutting contact. 
Maybe I'm being dramatic, but I don't want people in my life who believe a) my marriage will likely end and b) I'll sue them if I divorce my spouse.

Is there a reason why you don't wish to sponsor? The real risks to you are if he receives government benefits. If you believe he won't apply, there is relatively no risk. Although he can technically sue for support, it will be extremely difficult to find an attorney that will take the case. If one did, the chances of him winning are slim to none.

Just got a biometrics reuse notice, still showing September dates, but I'm guessing stuff will get pushed forward from here on in. 
 
And I plan on doing the 2008 civics test, not the stupid ultranationalist new one that they tried to push on us.

Thats my only assumption, seemed weird to me... heres hoping they are all back from Furlough soon thanks to new admin and processing speeds go up. 

Just recieved paper NOA which seems to be referring to removal of conditions rather than citizenship in the wording (even though it mentions N-400) talks about extending my greencard for 12 months, even though I have 9 years left on my greencard lol. 
 
Just got this in my email as well: 
 
Between Jan. 5 and Jan. 21, 2021, USCIS issued receipt notices with incorrect information to applicants who submitted Forms N-400, N-565, N-600, N-600K, or N-336 online. The error does not have any impact on the pending application and applicants can disregard that receipt notice. USCIS will mail new, corrected notices in the coming days and post corrected notices to applicants’ USCIS online accounts
 
 

I was going to wait until after Inauguration Day, but screw it... decided to file today. The new online portal (well new for me) is much better than the old forms, and being able to pay by credit card was an added bonus!

I filed in CSC March 9, 2017.  Was transferred to Nebraska back in May, just had an update that on September 6 my new card is being produced. Please note this is only showing on the DHS website and not the other one. I've recieved an email notification from there, but no text notifications. 

I was given similar info a month or two back at my infopass appointment.  They had a printed document with expected wait times and it showed around 36 months..
