Do American citizens' wives also need financial guarantee to immigrate?

American immigration law stipulates in 19971Feb. 919 that qualified guarantors must be used as economic guarantee, which is what we usually call a living guarantee (I-864). Living security is an essential element for all relatives immigrants and a few professional immigrants. Personal guarantee is a contract between the guarantor and the guaranteed, which is legally binding. The guarantor agrees to provide financial support to the guarantor until the guarantor becomes an American citizen or gets 40 working seasons (equivalent to 10 years). The purpose of economic security is to ensure that the beneficiaries who immigrate to the United States by family reunion will not receive or enjoy unemployment benefits, relief funds, subsidies and other welfare benefits from the federal, state or local governments for some reason after entering the United States, which will become a burden to the public.
