way OT - immigration sponsorship
We are co-sponsors for our daughter-in-law, who is from Hungary. She has
her green card and all of course, and then my son went back to school. He was no longer earning enough to be her sole sponsor, so we signed to co-sponsor with him. That was several years ago. They have now been separated for 2 1/2 years, and he is in the process of getting a divorce. She emailed and told us that if he does, we will be the sole sponsors. Can anyone verify if this is true? It doesn't make sense to me that this is how it would work, but it is SO hard to find out the details of things like this. I thought I'd see if anyone here knows about these things. TIA!

Karen:
First, I have NO clue about this. I think an immigration attorney would have the information. This is my comment: do you and your DH WANT to continue as sponsors? That is an important issue. Good luck, however you choose to go. PAT in VA/USA Queen of Squishies wrote: We are co-sponsors for our daughter-in-law, who is from Hungary.

Karen, Queen of Squishies Karen, I don't know enough of this either, but I do occasionally hang out in alt.visa.us.marriage-based You might get help there too. However, if she has had her greencard (by virtue of marriage to your son) for more then 2 years, I believe she could apply for "removal of conditions" and then she would not need a sponsor. In fact, I'm wondering why she didn't do that already. But do go look in the other group - most of the folks there are friendly and know some stuff - even if the advise in the end may be to get a lawyer, it is sometimes nice to have an idea of what is going on.

I understand we have no choice, it was clearly understood when we signed the
paper that this is a binding agreement. I suppose we could renounce her and send her back home, but we don't want to get that drastic. There's no need at this point. Thanks, Pat.

Howdy!
As others have said, check w/ the experts; call the INS or an attorney who works on these cases. Check this page about multiple sponsors: http://tinyurl.com/n2jfy Looks like she could remain on "the list" but you could also withdraw your support and her chances for citizenship are jeopardized. Or not. Definitely time to call an attorney. Good luck!

I know absolutely nothing about this, but if she has been here for five
years has she applied for citizenship? Doesn't being a co-sponsor mean there would have to be a sponsor? If the divorce takes place, she will no longer have a sponsor so can you still be a co-sponsor? If she had to have a co-sponsor because your son didn't make enough money to support her would that not mean that you would have to take on the responsibility of supporting her if she couldn't or wouldn't work? If the answer to the last question were yes, I'd have to think long and hard about continuing the co-sponsorship if I knew I was responsible for her financial support. Since the conditions under which you signed the co-sponsorship have changed, and since your son will no longer be her sponsor, I'd think there is a good chance of requesting your co-sponsorship be rescinded. If she has lived here for at least five years, she could apply for citizenship and I believe that would forestall deportation.

I suppose we could renounce her and send her back home, Nope! It makes sense, tho. Allowing that option would open the door to blackmail of the immigrants. but we don't want to get that drastic. There's no need at this point. Thanks, Pat. |

Like others, I don't know but I would be finding out especially since she
emailed you. Sounds like she may be planning on making you pay for your son divorcing her. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "Queen of Squishies" RisingStars @ KarenTucker.com wrote in message news:uUr_f.917794$xm3.321115@attbi_s21...
