Can I file Chapter 7 bankruptcy as a student on an F1 visa?
So, I’m not a lawyer, but it’s my understanding that you can file a chapter 7 bankruptcy as long as you have an iTIN or SSN. The trick is to find a lawyer who knows immigration law along with bankruptcy law, so they can ensure that you don't run into any issues after you file. If you do run into trouble, keep in mind that you are innocent until proven guilty. So as long as you report to your immigration appointments and maintain your status, you shouldn't have to worry about deportation. I think there is also an exception to this if you are in the middle of a student loan repayment program.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure that you file with a bankruptcy lawyer. If you have other bankruptcy questions about Chapter 7, please call this law firm for a free consultation:
