I am moving to IL from IN on tomorrow and need to file BK soon. I was wondering what the best way to file is if the disctrict I need to file in is 200 miles away. I will be filing pro se as it is a no asset case. Begining June 1, Indiana is going to e-filing, but says the pro se filers will still file papers. Does anyone know if this means pro se filers do not have the option of e-filing.

You will still file in IL, as you must reside in the district in which you file for 91 days before you can file there. If its a no asset case, you can still file in IL, even if living in IN.
However, you will still have to come back to IL to attend the 341 creditors meeting. -
I think you mis-read the post. I am moving FROM INDIANA to ILLINIOS. Therefore I need to file in INDIANA.
What I am curious about is the ability to e-file. I know others states do it, and was wondering if its something that pro se filers may take advantage of as well.Comment

Ok, sorry, I got it reversed, simply switch around what I said
E-filing is generally reserved for attorney's as it usually requires a training course, but it varies from district to district. You don't/won't need to e-file.Comment

SO if I file pro se, I am going to have to drive 4 hours back to indiana just to file papers with the Bankruptcy Clerk? Seems like there should be another way...Comment
