I need some closure

[laylas 0]

Well , I am a member of this board too (I have another nick and have been here for over 2 years) and since my interview date is approaching I am feeling really stressed, scared and afraid something bad will happen right in the last minute.

My problem is that I have quite some debits here and I am afraid they will deny me just because of it I am not the USC and I am going through the K1 right now.

Does anybody know if it is common for they to deny somebody just because of the debts they have ? is not that I am running away from them as I plan to pay off all of them but I am sure it ain't going to happen before I leave. Sorry if I may upset here with my question and talk about my problem, but I thought it is the right place at this moment.

Thanks for the comprehension.

I've never heard of a K1 applicant being denied because of debts he or she owes. In fact, I'm unsure at which part of the application process you'd even get a chance to divulge that sort of information. Unless the CO pointledly asks you if you have any debts or not (and I've never heard that they ask the question), I don't see how they would ever know.

Maybe I'm missing something, it's been over a year since I went through this.

Probably depends on the country and how strict they are? They didn't ask my husband a SINGLE FINANCIAL question..NOT ONE! He had some student debt but they didn't ask about it.

I was never asked about any debts I had in Canada at my interview.

I wasn't asked about my debt at my interview either, and mine were (at the time) fairly substantial (student loans and a credit card bill).

I have a ton of debt in Canada which I am paying off, but not one question was ever asked about it...I just made sure that I could fit the payments in to our budget when I was not able to work....so far so good.

Why would they care about YOUR debt? Thats your responsibility and remains so even after you emigrate - it has nothing to do with, or any bearing on, the US Govt.

If you accrue debt as a US Citizen that will also be your responsibilty, and affects no-one except your family (unless you decide to get out of debt by becoming a criminal) - my point is, unlike a disease you can't spread debt - and unless your debt comes complete with criminal charges in your home country (in which case it would show on your police report) it is not something they would be looking at.

I wouldnt worry - I know of a few people right here on VJ who've posted about the HUGE debts they left in the UK and none of them were denied a visa or AOS.
