His Wife Wants Him To Help Her Brother Get A Green Card, But He Doesn’t Think It’s The Smart Thing To Do For Their Family
by Matthew Gilligan
This is a HUGE ask!
And after you read this story from Reddit’s “Am I the *******?” page, you’ll see what I’m talking about.
But enough about me!
Get moving and check out what this guy had to say…and see if you think he’s acting like a jerk.
AITA for refusing to sponsor my brother in law for a green card?
“I’m the sole breadwinner for my family of four: my wife, our three-year-old, and a ten-month-old.
His wife asked him for a BIG favor.
My wife recently asked if I could support his brother by filling out and signing Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support).
This legally binding document confirms a sponsor’s commitment to support an immigrant financially.
I said no because I cannot commit to such a thing, and I’m unwilling to lie about any document, especially one that deals with the law and immigration.
Hell no!
I feel bad, but I don’t make decisions based on feelings; I make decisions through data, possible outcomes, facts, and being realistic with myself and others involved.
My engineering brain can’t help it.
I’m an immigrant, but I was fortunate to have my green card and eventually became a citizen.
AITA for saying no?”
Here’s how Reddit users reacted.
This reader chimed in.
Another Reddit user said he’s NTA.
This individual agreed.
Another person had a lot to say.
And this reader said he shouldn’t do this.
I don’t blame him one bit…
It’s a bit commitment!
