Q: U.S. citizen sister had her kid i-485 rejected for sponsor. Would my GC be revoked if I offer to sponsor them?
She is a U.S. citizen and her husband is foreign. They will not accept his income and she does not have an income. Their children's I-485 all got rejected because of that. They want to use me to sponsor them but she will filed under her name. She has 30 days to appeal the decision and I'm wondering if I sponsor them would that be considered fraud and get my green card revoked?
A: Your green card will not be revoked if you act as a joint sponsor. A joint sponsor by definition can be either a USC or a green card holder. I do think that she should see an experienced immigration attorney because she may have options other than an appeal. Before she takes action, she should speak with immigration attorney.
