Under I-864 the sponsor is supposed to bear all responsibilities of the sponsored candidate, including parents of USC, for lifelong until the immigrant becomes USC or gives up GC. If the sponsor decides not be held responsible anymore and wants to free himself from the conditions of I-864 how can he do that? Can the sponsor get the Green card revoked for the sponsored person if the need arises? If yes then how?
 
Your answers in order: NO, NO, NOT APPLICABLE. I864 is not a Walmart commodity, commit and buy, then return it and wash your hands. The GC holder can sue the sponsor in contracts court. The I864 is serious legal contract.

Or if they accumulate 10 years of Social Security credits.

Revoked "if the need arises?" No.

If they committed fraud to get the GC and it can be proven? Yes. But if the sponsor participated in or knew about that fraud before the GC was approved, the sponsor could also be in trouble.

Nobody did. But with the way economy is, the big question is how - to afford health insurance in US?, if one has to buy an individual policy for parents. They are currently working but could soon lose job and don't have anywhere close to 40 points. The better option is to move back to India, although healthcare is getting expensive even there but is still not as bad as here. Unfortunately with all the family here, living alone in India is a problem for them. As they say.. we are caught between the devil and the deep sea. Everybody is hurting in these tough times.

Any good ideas will be appreciated.

You desire everything with no means to afford. What you want is a free government medical handout -- Go to Canada, or wait for the new Obama health plan.
 
Just out of curiosity, can the sponsor get in trouble if the sponsored candidate collects social security disability benefits or unemployment insurance after receiving their green card?

No, collecting that won't cause a problem for the sponsor. Those are considered earned benefits based on you paying into the system for a certain amount of time, not a handout given just because you are poor.
 
You never considered these factors when hurridly signing the I-864?

I can understand the tone of your post.. I don't think it deserves an answer.

NO. Most people are optimistic and try to have a positive outlook in life. If people always look at the negative side nobody can ever make any investment or do any work. People could get hit by a car or crash in a plane or car. Should they think about this before hurriedly taking a flight, or walking or driving?

Do not confuse positive optimism with living within your means. My point is, positive optimism should not drive me to buy a sports car when I cant afford the insurance, payments and gas. Do not commit and then look for ways to circumvent the system.

In other words, you saw no point in worrying about it before you signed.

So why do you care about it now?

SSDI eligibility is a function of age. An older person would likely require the samer 40 quarters to qualify so they would be ineligible. SSI might be available depending on length of LPR.

It's not just about age; it requires paying into the system for a specified number of quarters. The required number of quarters may vary by age, but you still have to pay into the system for years, you can't just show up and collect it because you're poor or old. And if/when you collect it, it doesn't count as "public charge" and the sponsor won't be responsible for reimbursing the government.
 
jackolantern,

what if your disability is from birth or is from before the legal working age, and because of the limitations you were never able to work and pay into the system...can you still qualify or qualify under your sponsor's employment history and paying into the system?

Yes, there is a provision for children to qualify for benefits based on their parents' credits, if the child's disability began before age 22. But there are additional conditions and I'm not familiar with the details ... I don't know if a new immigrant who is already 22 or older could qualify even if their disability began before 22. And there are provisions to qualify based on a spouse's credits, but again I'm not familiar with the details.
