Can credits go after foreign spouse? Will it affect her U.S visa?

Question

I'm probably about to call up my creditors and threaten them with situational immunity ( I have no assets, 3 years from statute of limitations, head of house hold, can't garnish my wages or bank account) and try to strike up a deal to cut my debt by 30%-50% if I pay the whole thing at once.

I just came back from living overseas where I met and lived with my wife for 8 or so years. We're waiting on her visa while I get this stuff cleared up. Will the creditors be able to go after her foreign property or sue her? Will my actions affect her chances of getting a U.S visa/greencard?

Please provide sources.

Answer 1

Your financial situation in regards to debt won't have any impact on her immigration dealings. As long as you make enough to meet the support requirements, you're ok.

A credit agency in the US won't be able to take assets that are in your wife's name, but I am not sure about joint assets that have both your names on them.
