My ex father in law was my sponsor for a greencard...the document alluded to the fact that i would not be able to receive Social Security or Unemployment...that he would have to support me if I lost my job and accumulated debt... Does that mean creditors would go after him to recover debt? Could he ever unsponsor me...? If I signed a legal document relieving him of these financial responsibilities would that be agreed to by immigration...?
Optional Information: State/Country of Question: Texas Already Tried: I just want to know the answer to the question as to how I will proceed...my ex father in law lives in Missouri and my ex wife lives here in Dallas, TX too like myself. I also want to know if he can unsponsor me at any time and hence I lose my greencard since I am divorced from my wife of nearly 9 1/2 yrs...we have a 4 1/2 yr old son that I pay child support for and hold down a good job. Please advise.
To receive debt, he would have to co-sign (for your credit cards, loans, etc..) and therefore if you default, then creditors would be able to go after him to get compensated. Yes, he could "unsponsor" you, but it is a relatively complicated process and may take a long time to accomplish. No, if you sign a document relieving him of those conditions, it would not be agreed to by immigration. Your sponsor, in many ways, is like your parent if you are still a minor--your parent is responsible for your actions. That is same logic behind a sponsor and a green-card recipient.

So by signing as my sponsor he has no financial obligation to me...? Even though if I wasn't working the form states that I would not be able to receive support from the govt...(even though I pay taxes)...so how would i live if i didn't have an income...?
If I couldn't pay child support how would that effect my greencard...? It sounds like i need to become an American Citizen....right?
I don't understand your question--what financial obligation? Do you mean, does he have to feed, clothe, and take care of you?
As my sponsor does he have any obligation to me?
Yes, he does. As your sponsor, he accepts legal responsibility for financially supporting you until you become a U.S. citizen or until you have 10 years (40 quarters) of work completed. If you receive any "means-tested public benefits," the sponsor is responsible for repaying the cost of those benefits to the agency that provided them. If he does not repay the debt, the agency can sue him in court to get compensated for what is owed to the agency, plus fees, court costs, and attorney fees. Sincerely, Dimitry Alexander Kaplun, Esq.
Ok so since I have been working since June of 1997 he has no fnancial responsibility to me now...2009 in Aug...I needed to bring this up when I got divorced from her nearly 2 yrs ago...?
Correct. Sincerely, Dimitry Alexander Kaplun, Esq. _______________________________________________________________________ Please click "accept" so I can be compensated for my assistance. Thank you!
