My understanding is that I-864s are in effect until the immigrant is no longer an immigrant or has 40 quarters of work credit.
Thank you Lucky Cat. I did find a few others:

IF the I-407 was properly filed, the process for her to regain a green card should start from an I-130 petition for a spouse. Did you file an I-130 for her? If you suspect she might be submitting forged documents, I strongly recommend you inform USCIS of your suspicions and clarify with them that you are not petitioning your spouse again. But until you get confirmation from USCIS about the I-407, you have no guarantee that the previous I-864 is no longer in force.
Thank you again Chancy. I filed the I-130 in the beginning of our marriage, but never filed it a second time. I strongly suspect she has filed forged documents. Since she has done this in the past and she has been seen back in the country. I called the USCIS fraud number (and waited on hold for 65 minutes), they told me to report the fraud online which I did. But there was no way to attach documents I have for proof and the agent on the phone said there was no where to send the documents. With COVID, I cannot get an appointment in my local USCIS location or even talk to someone in the local office.
My concern is, just as you wrote, that even if the I-407 was filed, she would just start over with the I-130 forging my signature. I thought sending a letter by FedEx with a tracking number, would ensure a response from USCIS that I filed the letter in time. I understand that this is mute if she never really filed the I-407, but a response from USCIS telling me this would give me this answer.
My wife handled all of these forms and I am just now trying to understand the process. I should have been more involved, but now I see why she handled everything.
Would you know where I would send this withdrawal letter? I imagine it is the same place a I-864 is sent, but I am not even sure of this.

Thank you Lucky, I actually think it was properly submitted because at the time, she was very concerned about being reported for the fraud. I didn't wish any difficulty on her, so I agree not to do anything further.
I honestly believed the marriage was legitimate. It has been a difficult thing to deal with, but I just don't want more issues to come up later. Thats why I ask about the withdrawal of support. Kind of a belt and suspenders way of minimizing stress.

Are you still married to her? Regardless, you can't just mail in a withdrawal letter. Remember, you gave USCIS, NVC, and the Consulate officer a lot of evidence to prove your marriage was legit. Good luck. I hope you can legally unburden yourself.
Yes, I'm still married, although I haven't seen my spouse for six months. I am in the process of divorce.

Thank you Chancy.
If the I-407 was submitted, wouldn't the process start all over again with a new I-864 being filed? And if that is the case, wouldn't it be prudent to withdraw support?
Also, I did try to confirm the I-407 was filed, but USCIS wouldn't tell me anything because I was not the immigrant.

I would like to withdraw my I-864 financial support form because I found out six months ago that my spouse married me just for a green card. When we discussed this, my spouse agreed to leave the United States if I agreed to not report another fraud I discovered (forging an affidavit she submitted to the USCIS several months earlier). After she left the US, she email me and assured me she filed an I-407 and sent me a copy of the receipt from USCIS. I just found out that she may have returned to the US two months ago. I suspect she has filed a fraudulent I-864 for support.
It was my understanding that after she filed an I-407, my obligations under the original I-864 were void. Of course there is the possibility she never filed the I-407 as well. In either case, could you tell me where to send my withdrawal letter and if I should include documentation to support the prior fraud committed?
I am in Boston and it seems I would send this withdrawal form to the Vermont location, but I also saw a Chicago address listed for this type of form.
Thank you for any help you can offer.
How do I withdraw an I-864?

Thanks, I really am trying to do just that. I actually started this topic to get the address to send my documents, but with all the comments, no one has been able to do that.
