When will my obligations as a Sponsor on I-864, Affidavit of Support end?

Your obligation as a sponsor doesn’t end when the person already gained permanent residency / a Green Card. Your responsibility as a sponsor will only end if:

1. The one you are sponsoring becomes a U.S. Citizen.
2. The one you are sponsoring has worked, or has credited 40 quarters of coverage under the Social Security Act.
3. The one you are sponsoring no longer has lawful permanent resident status and has left the United States.
4. The one you are sponsoring becomes subject to removal (ROC), but applies for and obtains in removal proceedings a new grant of adjustment of status, based on a new affidavit of support.
5. You or the one you are sponsoring dies.

Important Note: Divorce does not terminate these obligations set by the Form I-864.
