Legal Question in Immigration Law in Virginia

Revoke sponsorship for tourist visa

I am a US citizen. I sponsored/invited an old aunt to visit me not knowing she has serious health and mental issues. She received an entry visa at the airport for 6 months and the US consulate from her native country gave her a 10 years visa!! My income is limited and I worry I will end up paying for her medical bills. I cannot afford this. Her lack of honesty, bizarre behavior, her daily tantrums and ridiculous expectations ruin my peaceful married life. Please tell me how I can revoke my sponsorship so she could never set foot on US soil. There must be a legal way to correct my error in judgment. I sponsored an unreliable, unstable person who makes my life miserable. Even though I send her home now I need to be sure she will not show up uninvited at my door step in the next ten years � as the US Consulate, as I mentioned earlier, apparently gave her en entry visa for 10 years. THANK YOU

Re: Revoke sponsorship for tourist visa

You could probably write the U.S. Consulate in this

persona nongrata's home country that issued her the 10 year visa, informing consulate officials that you are withdrawing your previous sponsorship of her visits to the United States and send copies of the letter to the USCIS district office responsible for the area where you reside and the U.S. State Department, and that you can no longer provide further financial nor any other support to this person should she again attempt to visit the United States.
