How do you sue someone under the Form I-864, Affidavit of Support?

[@Plant_lover_495]

Is there anything I can do if my Thai wife who has received temporary greencard 03/10/23 - expires 03/10/25 ; and she already left and we are divorcing ? I feel completely used and this whole situation is unfair…. Is there help for me ( the citizen) ? Seems like all help is for the non citizen… I’m in California….Bay Area

What’s wrong with the last part of the video?

Basically are you saying, you can sponsor someone and the sponsored person can basically quit their job and then take YOU to court and force you legally to give them free money? And that would be for the rest of their life? That's insane

No, that's not what I'm saying. But visa petitioners are required to file support contracts for immigrants they choose to sponsor, and if that person becomes unemployed, it is the sponsor's obligation to step in and provide support. I hear a lot of talk about the importance of enforcing immigration law. This is just one more part of immigration law that courts have the ability to enforce. ~Greg

@@Soundimmigrationlaw I reached out to your office for further clarification last week. I haven't gotten a response.

@@Soundimmigrationlaw so what are the repercussions if the sponsor cannot afford to support the beneficiary? What happens then? Is the sponsor put into jail? How is the sponsor protected from a beneficiary that is unwilling to work and contribute to society or their relationship?
