Unpaid depth

Lived in US for 8 years. Was on 8th year H1 extension when I-140 got denied.
In order not to overstay H1 I was forced to leave US in about 10 days which I did.
However, since I left, house foreclosed and I also have 3 unpaid credit cards and also left car (was still paying on it) on the airport.
Now, 2 years latter I want to apply for B visa now.
What do you guys think? Will it get approved? Can I be arrested at the airport?
Also, do you think is better to tell to counsel that I'm going to visit friend, or to say that I'm going to settle some of the debts?

Any advice would be highly appreciated.
 
Tell the truth. What is so hard about that concept?

You have previously demonstrated immigrant intent and are unlikely to be granted a visa.

You had other options to exit the country without leaving all of those debts. I bet you took a lot of dollars home with you that could have been used to pay the people who trusted you. No one at immigration is going to check your credit report; however, your admitted history leads me to believe that you quite possibly could have done something else that resulted in a warrant for your arrest which would activate if you attempt entry.
 
As for immigrant intent, I have left USA, didn't overstay.

Rest of your post is silly to the point of insulting; so I'm not going to respond to it.
 
You posted looking for the "best story" to give to improve your chances of getting a visa. That, IMO, is tantamount to looking for the best lie.

Be insulted; you leaving the US and leaving your creditors unpaid is irresponsible behavior. It cost all their other customers more because you did not pay as you promised. You cannot be trusted with a debt as you have admitted on a public forum.

Filing 140 does indeed show that you have immigrant intent.

Be insulted; the truth is not always to one's liking. If you don't like the rules in the US, find another country to visit; there are many to choose from.

Whatever you do, DO NOT LIE TO US IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS.
