How will bankruptcy effect my immigration

I am confused by your asking whether bankruptcy will affect your immigration as it is not clear whether you are an applicant for permanent residence or already an LPR. If already an LPR, the bankruptcy will have no effect on your status. If an applicant for permanent residence, bankruptcy is generally not known to an adjudicator as it is not one of the factors looked for in an evaluation of public charge. Under the new public charge rules which are slated for implementation on October 15, 2019, U.S.C.I.S. will consider the totality of circumstances with liabilities being a factor. All cases postmarked before October 15 will be judged by the old rules. With the new rules, items such as age, health, history of work if authorized to work, credit score (if favorable), present income, household income, receipt of means tested benefits, etc. will all be considered in the mix in determining who is likely to become a public charge. I also note that there are categories for immigration that are not subject to the public charge requirement.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
