-When you sign the Affidavit of Support, you accept legal responsibility for financially supporting the sponsored immigrant(s) until they become U.S. citizens or can be credited with 40 quarters of work. Any joint sponsors or household members whose income is used to meet the minimum income requirements are also legally responsible for financially supporting the sponsored immigrant. If the immigrant receives any "means-tested public benefits," you are responsible for repaying the cost of those benefits to the agency that provided them. If you do not repay the debt, the agency can sue you in court to get the money owed. When in doubt, ask the benefit provider whether the benefit is a "means-tested public benefit."
假如SIBLING移民來美一直找不到工作, 或者以後丟了工作的時候, 我是否都必須負擔SILBLING的一切生活費用和醫療費用嗎?
如果SIBLING移民來美5年後不申請成為美國公民,而且工作不滿10年, 我是否必須負擔SILBLING的一切生活費用和醫療費用。
就是說理論上來講, 我是否有可能必須負擔SILBLING的餘生的一切費用?
-Yes. But the immigrant (your sibling) should have no problem to become a US citizen after he/she enters US for five years and then gets the benefits from US Government such as medicaid/medicare, SS benefit, etc. which are than from you. So, you may worry too much.
如果上述情況發生, 我有可能退出擔保嗎?
-No. After the beneficial gets the green card/immigration status, you can not 退出擔保.
謝謝。
