Sponsor liability of a married couple
Both my spouse and I have assets from before our marriage. Ever since the marriage, we have been filing joint tax return and have purchased our house together. So here are the questions:
1. If one sponsors a parent for green card, will the other spouse's pre-marriage assets automatically be deemed 'available' to the sponsored?
2. If one sponsors a parent for green card, will the couple's joint property automatically be deemed 'available' to the sponsored?
In a nutshell, what's the liability/risk of the spouse who will NOT sign the I-864 form?
Thanks much.
