    Default Will a Negative Bank Account Balance Affect the Outcome of a Green Card Interview

    Hi, I'm filing the petition for immigration based on marriage. We're having the interview for 2 years green card permanent resident really soon. Our joint bank account unfortunately has negative balance (around $800). It will of course show on the bank statement when we bring it to the interview. I know that we should put some money to get rid of the negative balance, but we're really short of cash now and waiting for the next paycheck. We don't really want to borrow money from others. Do you think it will affect any decision during the interview? We really have a lot of transactions going on that bank account since we got married!

    Nope, they really don't care if you have a negative bank balance.

    Get yourselves to the non-profit credit counseling agency in your location. You are creating a horrible problem for yourself even if it is not an immigration issue. The amount overdrawn will grow due to penalties. Look at the organizations sponsored by your local United Way to determine which one to use.
