You will not be denied a green card based on your credit score, but can be denied if it is known to USCIS that you can be a public charge. By "denied a green card", I assume that you're in the process of an Adjustment of Status. I have never heard of USCIS pulling up a credit report and I highly doubt that they do (I've done enough I-485 cases). Yet if you've received or are receiving any type of public assistance, kiss your application out the window. Technically (though not followed up on), the person/people who filed your Affidavit of Support is/are responsible for you for 40 work quarters (10 years). So if you owe money to collection agencies or things to that nature, you and your sponsor are responsible. Ifyou had to go to small claims or civil court, Immigration can say that this can be signs that you will be a public charge and your case gets denied.
