Take an I-864 demand seriously, preserve your records, and obtain legal advice promptly—especially if a lawsuit has been served. A letter demanding support is different from a court summons, but neither should be dismissed simply because the sponsor and beneficiary are divorced.Wilner & O’Reilly managing lawyer Angie D.

No. Divorce does not automatically terminate the financial obligations created by Form I-864, Affidavit of Support.

What Should an I-864 Sponsor Do After Receiving a Demand Letter or Lawsuit?

Take an I-864 demand seriously, preserve your records, and obtain legal advice promptly—especially if a lawsuit has been served. A letter demanding support is different from a court summons, but neither should be dismissed simply because the sponsor and beneficiary are divorced.Wilner & O’Reilly managing lawyer Angie D.

Can ICE Detain Me at a USCIS Adjustment of Status Interview?

Yes. ICE can arrest and detain a person at a USCIS adjustment of status interview when the government asserts a legal basis for immigration enforcement.

When DHS terminates a country’s Temporary Protected Status designation, there is no single deadline that applies to every TPS holder.
