Neither debt or bankruptcy is an issue in the immigration process unless you have an IRS lien. You'll need to qualify based on current income.

I think they really only look at the US citizen's ability to support the foreign spouse - as long as your husband meets the required income level for the Affidavit of Support, you'll be fine

*HUGS* Relax! Things will work out...

Just make sure you have all the documents you need.

For the Affidavit of Support, you can also include your husband's most recent pay stubs, a letter from his employer, etc.

You can also use assets - bank statements, car titles (if you at least 2 cars), property (less mortgage owed), etc.

And if needed, you can always get a co-sponsor (if income level doesn't meet the minimum requirements).

Don't worry, love will prevail!

I'm now confused about who is the US Citizen in this case. Is it the husband or wife? If the foreign wife is doing bankruptcy, that's no problem as long as it doesn't impact her passport. For the US Citizen, it won't matter unless there's an IRS lien.

Entering as a non-immigrant with intent to immigrate is visa fraud. You'll need the appropriate spouse visa.
