Re: Credit card debt2

Your question has two parts that should be examined separately. Yes, the issuer bank can attempt to collect the debt anywhere you are found. A civil action to collect, however, has nothing to do with your immigration status; if you are otherwise legally present in the US, then defending (or losing) a civil case will not change your status.

Best wishes,
