Default How can I delay or stop a green card from being issued?

About 12 years ago, my spouse submitted an application for a green
card for his unmarried younger sister under the 4th preference
category. She is now married with two children and the application
is current and being processed by the INS. INS is now asking for
supporting documents like birth certificates, marriage certificate
etc. so I would think that they may get their visas soon. However,
for numerous reasons I would really prefer if they do NOT immigrate
to the US. Is there anyway I can prevent this or at least delay it?

The INS recently sent a letter that stated that there were some
mistakes and missing info on the I-864A(Affadivit of support) form
and that these must be corrected before the application can be
processed further. My spouse has not seen this letter, but I have.
If the I-864A form is never corrected, can this stop or delay the
issuance of the visas? Will the INS inform the sister in India about
the incorrect I-864A or was that letter only issued to my spouse
since he is the sponsor?

The letter does state that if a period of one year passes and NVC is
not contacted, all submitted fees and documents will expire.
Does this also mean that the application will be tossed aside if the
I-864A is not corrected?

I guess my question is .. Is there any way to stop this visa from
being issued or if that is not possible, is there any way to delay
it as long as possible?

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think maybe for humanitarien reasons it might be a
good idea to talk to your SPOUSE about this, because u might find urself
on the other end of trouble. I think u have ur reasons, but u havent
offered them out to the public. It might be easier to understand if u
did. As it stands now I think its pretty nasty especially as they have
waited so long. And pretty evil not showing ur spouse the post from
immigration. It was obviously addressed to spouse so by not showing ur
commiting a crime I know i would be pretty pissed. sorry if my words
are not sympathetic

His sister has been waiting 12 long years to get the chance to come
here, and you want to wreck it?

Well, my opinion is that it is your husband's petition, not yours, so
you should inform him of what's going on with it. I'm sure he's anxious
to get his sister here after all this time. If you have issues, you
should talk to him about it, not sneak around behind his back to
sabotage it. That's my opinion, anyway.

Well... aren't you just the most manipulative little bitch! Are you
aware that it is a federal offense to knowingly intercept mail that is
not addressed to you? You've just opened yourself up to a world of hurt.
It sounds like you sorely deserve it!

What a cruel and deceitful person you are hiding important letters
from your husband and preventing his loved ones from immigrating here.
Shame on you.

Whoever your husband or another US citizen wants to petition is really none
of your freaking business! For what you did you can be charged of a crime.
You're not a good wife for sure because you don't know how to hadle the
situation civilly.

If I were your spouse and you'd do that to me, I'd leave you. And
that's just the start of your problems...

You know that you're not really anonymous here, and the authorities
can trace your IP number to your home computer right?

Well, like one poster mentioned I did not mention all the details so
my post came out sounding quite different than the real situation and
it sounded like I was the one who wanted to delay this and for bad
reasons. That is not the case and we did not mean it like that.
Firstly, my spouse is aware of the letter. When I submitted my
question I had just received the letter. He also does not want them to
come here right now.

The reason that we both would prefer the visa delayed is due to
medical reasons that one of the family members is going through. It
would be much less costly for them to receive medical care there and
not in the US due high costs here and as sponsors it would be our
liability. In a few months when these medical issues are over it will
not be a problem. So that is why I was asking about a delay or
temporary hold on the visa. I did not use the appropriate wording or
supply enough information in my first post. My mistake.

If you are hoping to buy a few months grace period then there is not a
problem. Just because husband completes the I-864 and returns it does
not mean the visa is imminent. There is still a period of anywhere from
3 to 9 months before the visa is issued. Also the beneficiaries of the
visa will have to undergo medical examinations in their country before
they are granted an interview date at the US Consulate. If there is a
medical condition at the moment, they might not pass the medical. Even
if they do and are granted the visa they have six months in which to
activate it. So you are looking at perhaps a year or so before they are
landed if they want to wait out the medical conditions at home.

HOGWASH!
Nice try at wriggling out , luckily your original quote is ever so
present.

Pay attention now :
>From your initial posting,
1) However, for numerous reasons I would really prefer if they do NOT
immigrate to the US. Is there anyway I can prevent this or at least
delay it?
2) Will the INS inform the sister in India about the incorrect I-864A
or was that letter only issued to my spouse
since he is the sponsor?

>From your recent posting,
3) In a few months when these medical issues are over it will not be
a problem. So that is why I was asking about a delay or
temporary hold on the visa.
