Questions Regarding I-864 Enforcement and Access to Filed Documents
Hello,
I am currently in a difficult situation and seeking guidance. I am married and received a 10-year green card through my U.S. citizen spouse, who sponsored me. He also signed and submitted Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) on my behalf. At the time of my green card approval, we had already been married for over two years, so I was granted a 10-year permanent resident card without a conditional period or interview, given the strength of our application and supporting evidence.
Unfortunately, in recent months, my husband has become extremely emotionally and financially abusive. I am currently not working, and the only employment I have had since receiving my green card was a front desk job for about 4–5 months roughly a year ago. I am now in the process of seeking a divorce. He has completely cut off my access to financial resources, including removing me from health insurance coverage.
In light of this situation, I have a few questions:
1. Enforcing Form I-864:
– Am I able to enforce the I-864 affidavit against my husband and seek financial support, including possible retroactive reimbursement for the period he has not supported me?
2. Obtaining a Copy of the Signed I-864:
– We submitted our immigration application (Forms I-485, I-130, I-765, I-131, and I-864) without legal representation, so I do not have a copy of the signed I-864. What is the best way to obtain this document now?
3. FOIA and Redactions:
– If I submit a FOIA request, I am concerned that the copy of the I-864 provided may be heavily redacted, especially regarding his personal information, such as name or signature. Based on your experience, how much of the I-864 is typically redacted in these requests? Is it still useful for enforcement purposes?
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Hi, Cecillia. You’ll want to talk to civil rights lawyer about this, not an immigration form. Note, however, that probable cause is not needed to detain a foreign national arriving at a U.S. port of entry. All arrivals are subject to inspection and may be detained without meeting the 4th Amendment reasonable suspicion standard that applies in police stops within the U.S.
