K-1 Visa & Debt

[Lalo & Susana 50]

My fiance was previously married and his ex wife put a lot of debt on his credit card. She never worked and used his credit card a lot when he discovered what she was going he obviously took away the card but the damage was done. She charged all of the furniture on his card. After a few months he ended the marriage bc she was cheating on him. He went to work and when he returned she had taken everything all of the furniture, all of his clothing everything. He literally had just the clothing on his back. She cleaned out everything. Then she disappeared after about two months he found her again. He had paid more than 50% of the stuff on the card. He spoke to her and she agreed to pay his bill from then on since she took everything with her. Since then they have been divorced and she has supposedly been paying the bills for about 3 years. Today he received a letter in the mail sent to his sister's house showing that not one payment has been made since his ex wife took over the payments. He called her and asked her about it and she said oh right I changed my mind since its not in my name so deal with it. She obviously isn't going to pay and the interest compounded on it is ridiculous. My question is can he still come to the USA if he has debt in Chile? Our plan is for him to pay a little now and when he comes here and finds a better paying job we would send the money to his sister who would pay his bill every month. The credit card is a store card like Macys or Sears. If anyone knows if this is going to stop him from coming to the USA please let me know.

Thank you so much!

He should be able to come here UNLESS the debt is so big there's some sort of warrant on him. He should, however, try to get all this squared now... while he is still there; and try to work some sort of payment plan with the CC company... Is it for Falabella?

So this is not just an American phenomenon. Interesting.

Welcome to the world. There are conniving people EVERYWHERE (males and females).

Sad, but true

The US will neither care about this debt or know about it unless something in his home country causes it to appear on a police report or the home country somehow invalidates his passport as a result of the debt. These are things to check out in the home country.

I assumed they wouldn't know about the debt either but I am nervous since it is so over due they might have filed something against him I will find out more details. As of now I know there are two cards and he doesn't exactly know how much money is due he is going to find out. The thing is he doesn't get paid enough right now to pay off the debt and I am saving up everything I can to pay for all of our expenses. We are hoping that we can make small payments until its all gone. I don't think the debt is that big but its just frustrating that thanks to his ex again we are having problems. lol She was refusing to divorce him bc she didn't want to pay for the lawyer she dragged it on for almost a year year until I said just pay her I am sick and tired of waiting to send out our I-129F bc of her. And when she stole his furniture she sold it and made a lot of money and claimed she would use that to pay off the bill. Apparently she is just one of those horrible ppl. I just don't want her to affect us anymore.

[Lalo & Susana 50]

And she only signed the divorce papers bc I happened to run into her new boyfriend and told him I found it weird that if she loved him so much why she wouldn't divorce my fiance I mean didn't she want to start a new life with the man she claims to loves? This infuriated her boyfriend to no end and he stormed off to talk to her. My fiance got a mean phone call the next day saying she also wanted to get a divorce. haha

If you start paying the seven years starts all over again.

[Lalo & Susana 50]

Okay so its 1,000 dollars plus whatever interest in on the card. Its separated on two card Falabella and Ripley (Chilean companies). Apparently a new law in Chile just passed saying that anyone with less than 5,000 dollar debt it will not be on their records unless someone specifically looks at debt. So my question is will they look into his debt or not? He is going tomorrow since he is off to find out more information and start a payment plan.

No, neither USCIS or the US Consulate will not look at this debt. I expect the card companies would be happy to settle for the principal.

Awesome! Thank you. Yeah he is going tomorrow to see how he can pay it the fastest I know he doesn't want to come here with that debt. But that is good to know that just in case he still has some debt he won't be denied entrance into USA.

Thank you!
