I am in a situation where I may have to file for personal bankruptcy protection. We filed for AOS in December and the case was transferred to CSC in January. Will a bankruptcy affect my wife's AOS?

I am in the middle of filing bankruptcy myself. I wanted to get this done and taken care of before I marry my fiance so that it isn't an issue we have to deal with once we are married.

My bankruptcy attorney told me (because this was my #1 question going through the process of getting my fiance here) that bankruptcy is a federally backed process. There are NOT any federal programs that can hold it against you. Therefore, they cannot deny you do it this AS LONG AS you make the minimum amount of money OR get a co-sponsor. That being said, if it doesn't effect my K1 it shouldn't effect your AOS.

Good luck and hope this helps! ;)

I filed while AOS was going on and I can honestly say it didnt affect anything for my spouse. I was proactive in establishing his credit i.e secured card etc. He has good credit now alone (bout a yr later) and once the 2 yr mark is up on my bankruptcy we will establish joint credit hopefully.
