More details to this question:
Just recently divorced my first wife, and has caused me to have a large amount of old debt. I'm considering bankruptcy, but my new fiance, who I've known for 3 years is in the Philippines. Will this effect our chances for a k1 visa?

Yes it may affect your case. The new regulations require that the intending immigrant demonstrate financial self sufficiency. If you are her sponsor and are bankrupt then the case would be negatively impacted. You may enlist a joint sponsor but under the new rules that will not rescue the case. Consider working with an attorney to represent you from start to finish. Some of us charge a very affordable flat fee. Good luck.
