That’s a HUGE request!
And after reading this story on Reddit’s “Am I the *******?” page, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
But enough about me!
Go ahead and see what the guy has to say… and find out if you think he’s acting like a jerk.
“I am the sole breadwinner for my family of four: my wife, our three-year-old and a ten-month-old child.
His wife asked him for a BIG favor.
My wife recently asked me if I could support his brother by completing and signing Form I-864 (Declaration of Support).
This legally binding document confirms a sponsor’s commitment to financially support an immigrant.
I said no because I cannot commit to such a thing and am not willing to lie about any documents, especially those related to legal or immigration matters.
No way!
I feel bad, but I don’t make my decisions based on feelings; I make my decisions based on data, possible outcomes, facts, and being realistic with myself and others involved.
My engineering brain can’t do anything about it.
I am an immigrant but was fortunate enough to get a green card and eventually became a citizen.
AITA, because you said no?”
This is how Reddit users reacted.
This reader chimed in.
Another Reddit user said he was NTA.
This person agreed.
Another person had a lot to say.
And this reader said he shouldn’t do that.
I don’t blame him in the slightest…
It’s a bit of a commitment!
