Question

Can an immigrant for 5yrs. file for bankcruptcy?

Answer 1

An immigrant would have no reason to file bankruptcy. Immigrants do not have social security numbers, therefore, they cannot get any type of credit. In order to be in so deep to have to file bankruptcy, a person would need to have so much debt that they cannot keep up with it. Without a social security number, an immigrant cannot get a checking account, credit card, mortgage, auto loan, or even a cell phone plan.

Hope this helps you out!

Answer 2

If they are legal yes.
