bankruptcy and i-864 (affidavit of support form)

hello everyone,
I'm getting married to a USC pretty soon (hopefully in july), but my future wife wants to file bankruptcy before we get married to protect me from being harrassed by her creditors (federal student loan, credit cards etc... long story), which btw make me sweat.

I am wondering to which extent the immigration officers may eventually pull out her bankruptcy records when reviewing the i-864 AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT she'll file for me so I can get a GC. She has right now a decent salary (above 125% poverty line) yet is incapable of reimbursing the gigantic debt she's collected over years. The form (i-864) requires her SSN# therefore IO may easily pull out her credit report which will for sure show her bankruptcy...

Her lawyer says she will be granted bankruptcy, but is it smart to do it before we marry? Do you think we should marry first or should my future wife first file for bankruptcy? It's like a dog eating its own tail, and we don't know what to do...

Or should I simply make some sort of prenuptial contract to protect myself from her creditors (and each other assets and in her case lack thereof), and if so, won't that be a negative point for me in proving my marriage is genuine?
