Foreign citizen being laid-off, $60K plus debt (California)
I live in California. I'm a Brazilian citizen and have been living in the U.S. since 2005. I make $147,000/year and do not qualify for bankruptcy. I'm being laid-off in two weeks. Since I'm in the U.S. under a work visa, in practical terms, I'm supposed to leave the country within 30 days after being laid-off (that's it!). I have $27,800 in credit card debt and loans and I also owe $33,000 in a BMW I bought last year. That said, at very high level, I owe approximately $61,000. I neither have savings nor assets in the U.S. I will have to leave the country and my debt behind. If eve returning to the U.S. will I be arrested at the airport if creditors get a default judgment against me? Additionally, will be arrested if a bench warrant is issued?

I was told that I do not pass the means test for Califiornia. In other words my income is too high for a single California resident.
