Frequently Asked Questions
Which bankruptcy laws apply in Puerto Rico?
Bankruptcy is governed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and handled by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Puerto Rico. Individuals usually file under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, and Chapter 12 covers family farmers and fishermen. Business reorganizations under Chapter 11 are a separate practice area.
Will filing for bankruptcy stop creditor collection efforts?
Yes. Filing triggers an automatic stay that halts most collection actions, including lawsuits, wage garnishments, and foreclosures. Some debts, such as certain taxes and child support, may not be dischargeable.
Is Puerto Rico part of the U.S. immigration system?
Yes. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so federal immigration law applies. People born in Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens by birth and do not need a visa to travel between the island and the mainland.
Can an immigration attorney in Puerto Rico help with green cards and visas?
Yes. Attorneys assist with family- and employment-based petitions, green cards, naturalization, work and visitor visas, and removal defense, and can represent clients before USCIS and the immigration courts.
