Section 11 U.S.C. 109 of the bankruptcy code details who is eligible to file bankruptcy under federal law. In this section, it does not state that an individual needs to be a US citizen to file bankruptcy, or even possess a green card. The law has since been very clear that a debtor just needs to establish residency, that is, live in a jurisdiction long enough to satisfy the statue, in order to file bankruptcy. A social security number is not required either, although it is helpful to have one. For any other bankruptcy eligibility questions, please contact one of our bankruptcy attorneys for further information.
