My fiance is American and I am Canadian. We plan on getting married this year. My fiance has just filed for bankruptcy. Would we be better to wait and file for finace visa after the bankruptcy has gone through or does it not matter? Also,is there any benefit to filing for spousal vs fiance visas. We are open as to whether we marry in Canada or the US

Take a look at the comparison chart. Disregard the k-3 info, the k-3 is obsolete.

I don't think bankruptcy should affect the decision. But, maybe marrying each other and using a co-sponsor for the binding I-864 vs. the non-binding I-134 (for the Fiance visa) would be a safer bet.

They don't do credit checks. If he has enough income to meet the 125%, then you should be okay for the affidavit of support. A spousal visa(CR-1) is cheaper because you do not have to pay $1070 to adjust status like you do with a K-1. Also, with a CR-1, when you enter the US, you will already have permanent resident status and be able to work and travel internationally.

Bankruptcy is not an immigration issue. Makes no difference whatsoever.
