Bankruptcy and Your Immigration Status

The law allows several options for people who are experience economic
hardship. For example, residents can seek financial protection under Chapter
7 and/or Chapter 13 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. However, bankruptcy
can have a substantial impact immigrants and on those who are seeking
adjustment of their status.
A bankruptcy filling can erase credit card debt, fines, and sometimes save
your home from foreclosure (among other legal actions). However, it is very
important that you check the impact of this filling would have in your
immigration status. It is critical that you understand the potential
consequences to your specific situation.
The United States government public policy is to not allow residents and
immigrants to become a “public charge.” Therefore, there are several laws
that specifically prohibit residents (with or without documents) to receive
benefits such as food assistance (Food Stamps). Only U.S. citizens may
qualify for this benefit.
The “public charge” concept is very important as it can have a significant
impact on your immigration status. If you file for bankruptcy, the government
can consider you as a “public charge.” This problem is much more serious if
you owe money to Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Some debts with the federal government can be totally discharged through the
bankruptcy process, however, this filing can put you in serious problems with
the Department of Home Land Security.
It is imperative that you contact a qualified attorney in the immigration area,
before filing, to understand the impact a bankruptcy may have in your
immigration status.
Financial problems could be explained and may not necessarily disqualify a
resident or citizen for benefits under immigration law. It is important to show
that you are not, and will not, become a public charge. If you have tax debt, it
will be necessary to establish some kind of verifiable arrangement to pay the
IRS and mitigate the potential damage on your immigration case.
A foreclosure may also be evidence against you, depending on totality of the
circumstances of your case.
Remember, not every financial problem may affect your immigration status,
however some problems of this nature can have a substantial negative impact.
If you have questions about foreclosure, bankruptcy, or have immigration
questions, you can call me at 509-927-3840 or you can write me at email:
