Your income and assets are deemed available to the person that you are supporting if that person is seeking means tested benefits on the federal, state, or local level. So any one of the three entities can request reimbursement from you to the extent of your income and assets that the immigrant has taken means tested benefits from them. However, that does not include individuals who obtain emergency Medicaid. While you would not be liable for emergencies, long-term care would be seen as a benefit recoverable by the federal, state, or local government branch which gave the benefit. I note that in the past, it has been unpopular for governmental entities to go after supporters of people who have taken means tested benefits, but this may be changing in the present political atmosphere.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

Can my father obtain a green card for me if he is a US citizen?

The processing time will depend on what country you are from. Check out the visa bulletin on the State Department website. Have your father file an I-130 petition for you to get the ball rolling. Best of luck.
