回复：有问题：关于移民 担保责任

有谁知道为SIBLING做绿卡移民担保后， 这个经济责任的时间期限具体怎样规定的？
-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移民来美一直找不到工作， 或者以后丢了工作的时候， 我是否都必须负担SILBLING的一切生活费用和医疗费用吗？
如果SIBLING移民来美５年后不申请成为美国公民，而且工作不满１０年， 我是否必须负担SILBLING的一切生活费用和医疗费用。
就是说理论上来讲， 我是否有可能必须负担SILBLING的余生的一切费用？
-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.

如果上述情况发生， 我有可能退出担保吗？
-No. After the beneficial gets the green card/immigration status, you can not 退出担保.
谢谢。
