Hi,

If you are going to be married, and if you plan to continue to remain in the U.S., all sponsorship paperwork should be filed on the basis of marriage.

An affidavit of support can be filed by someone else who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident in addition to your husband. Therefore, there is no problem if your husband declares bankruptcy.
