Warning for sponsored immigrants: divorce can kill your I-864 case

In the most important federal decision in years, the 6th Circuit has held that a green card holder permanently lost the right to enforce the Affidavit of Support by not raising the issue in his divorce. Even though the sponsored immigrant did not try to enforce the I-864 in his divorce, the federal court ruled that this was his one chance to do so. This decision means that you MUST take action to enforce the I-864 while your divorce is pending, or potentially lose the right to ever enforce it. --- Do you have a claim for financial support under the Form I-864?
