How long is a sponsor responsible for an immigrant 2021?


Sponsorship Responsibility

The sponsor’s responsibility lasts until the immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen, has earned 40 work quarters credited toward Social Security (a work quarter is about three months, so this means about ten years of work), dies, or permanently leaves the United States.

Credit Check by USCIS

I recently received the question at my Benicia office as to whether USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) conducts a credit check of a sponsor when they petition for a spouse. The answer is, “no,” they do not. Thus, while USCIS does not perform a credit check, your income is still checked.

Affidavit of Support

The affidavit of support goes into effect when the sponsored immigrant becomes a lawful permanent resident (LPR, or someone who has a “green card”) and remains in effect until the sponsored immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen, obtains credit for 40 quarters of work in the U.S., dies, or leaves the U.S. permanently.

Defined certificates will appear in your SMS account once they have been approved. You can then assign them to a worker.
