With the Trump administration heavily vetting entries into the country, trouble-free travel is not guaranteed for anyone except US citizens – and even they are rumored to have difficulties sometimes with DHS. If you are a nonimmigrant, you can be denied entry on discretionary grounds. If a green card holder, you could be kept at the port of entry or even placed in detention while Customs and Border Protection officers look over your records. We do not encourage unnecessary travel at this time, especially for nonimmigrants, but also for immigrants with checkered criminal histories.

I note that your state is Maryland. Your case would be submitted to the Vermont Service Center of U.S.C.I.S. The processing time chart shows that as of 8/11/16, Vermont is only processing I-751's received as of 8/31/15. The Center has most likely not reached your case yet for adjudication. Your mistake in your cover letter of stating that you are the beneficiary of your husband's life insurance instead of being an enrollee in your husband's 401(k) is not a red flag. U.S.C.I.S. looks at the evidence which is submitted and in many cases pays scant attention to cover letters. At this time, you should just wait until Vermont comes up to your case. There is nothing to do at this time.

Your question raises a lot of different issues, ranging from intellectual property rights to distribution rights. Your agreement to purchase the large company's products should state whether you can alter the product and should also address royalties. If there is a patent pending, there are no patent rights at this time but once a patent issues, you might be infringing a patent which will get you shut down very quickly. You should consult an attorney on these issues. ... Read Answer

You are certainly able to file for bankruptcy relief.  And it seems appropriate, if you still need the protection from your creditors.  If you are out of work, they cannot garnish, as you have no income.  They could go after other assets, like a bank account.  You should go find a good local bankruptcy lawyer.  I wish you the best of luck on getting out of your hard times....
