Immigration officials certainly do a background check on a US citizen sponsoring a foreign spouse. They are mainly interested in whether the marriage is legitimate. If the US citizen has married and sponsored other people before, this may raise red flags.

If you are sued, then there could be various consequences depending upon the outcome of the suit.
