From another thread though, I read that this sponsorship is complete unenforceable by the US government. So if you Sponsor someone, they arrive and then attempt to get say medical insurance from the marketplace (which they do qualify for), the premiums they would pay would be based on how much money they intend to make in the next year. If this amount is below some minimum threshold then this insurance would be heavily subsidized and possibly even free. Additionally I would assume they could qualify for programs like SNAP (food stamps) and other programs. In general - Although you are agreeing to financially support this beneficiary for a period of two years, the reality of the situation is that the government has no means to make sure the sponsor does make good on that financial sponsorship.
NOTE - I have only filed parole for my future wife. When she comes to the US on either Parole or on K1, I intend to support her financially and she wont be on any government assistance programs just like I am not on any government assistance programs. What I wrote in the first paragraph is not applicable in my situation and I only wrote it as to what I understand of the program. If I am incorrect, I would very much appreciate someone correcting my information.
tagging @Boiler as I think they will have an opinion here or information here.
