Thanks for your reply. Yes, I was concerned about the issue with credit rating. I was thinking that we might buy a trailer to put on my parent's property, and I would need a loan for that. My parents struggle with lack of money as well, but I will try to muddle through this without the bankruptcy.My financial situation is not going to improve, so I'm trying to make the best of it. I'm a newspaper photographer, been one for 18 years, and I'm in a dying industry. So, no raises coming my way. It would be helpful if she was here and able to work and help with bills.I guess it's up to God. Garet

Thanks for your replies, everybody. It seems like, to be on the safe side, it would be better for me to wait until after her interview to start the bankruptcy process, if I choose to do that. (Not knowing what "additional information" they might want.) On the other hand, it would be nice to get my debts taken care of before she comes here. I still haven't decided what to do, but I sure appreciate the info.

I did mention this in a previous topic, but the answers were addressed more to a different issue. If anybody has info on bankruptcy, chapter 11 or 13, and how this affects the visa K-1 application, I would like to hear it. I have just sent off my k-1 paperwork. My fiancé is in the Phillipines. I have a lot of medical bills that I am struggling with. My fear is that if I file, when they (Phillipine authorities)do a background check on me, they will determine that I am not financially viable enough to have a wife. Any info would be appreciated.

I have just filed my K-1 paperwork. I am struggling financially, and am contemplating filing for either Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I don't want to jeopardize the K-1 process. I work fully time, but have a lot of medical bills and some credit card debt. Then, after some investigation, I wondered of I should obtain a co-sponsor because my income isn't high enough. (22, 000 annually). Any advice anyone has on this would be greatly appreciated.
