Impact of bankruptcy on sponsoring family member

Question: My husband has petitioned for his younger brother and family from India. My husband will be filing bankruptcy next month due to Trucking business shutting down. Will this effect his petition for his younger brother in any way?

Answer: The bankruptcy for the business should not impact the sponsorship. However, the personal bankruptcy will create trouble for sponsorship. At the time of Affidavit of Support requirement at the National Visa Center (NVC), a co-sponsor will be needed, if the sponsor does not have any requisite income.
