More information:
There is no court hearing in a no-asset case, and the discharge in Massachusetts is usually about 6 weeks after the 341 meeting/first meeting of creditors. The federal rule requires no-problem no-asset cases to be closed within 6 months of filing, after the filing of the certificate that the debtor(s) have taken the class in financial management.
A debtor is eligible to receive Discharge 60 days after Meeting of Creditors (also called the "341 hearing"). In most jurisdictions, it is my understanding that the issuance of the Discharge is pretty much automated, so it actually gets issued around 61 days after the hearing, and you get it in the mail around 64 days after the hearing. I know this is the case in Southern Indiana, but I don't know about other jurisdictions. However, there are certain things that can hold up a Discharge, such as if there are complications in the case, or if there is an asset the trustee wants to sell, etc.
I am a bankruptcy attorney in Kentucky. The discharge here gets issued on about the 61st day after your meeting of creditors in Kentucky, so long as there are no issues that arise that would prevent discharge. I believe that other states operate on pretty much the same time frame.

The amount of time a bankruptcy stays on your credit report after discharge differs between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. With Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the Chapter 7 stays on your credit report for 10 years. Chapter 13 bankruptcy, after discharge, it shows for 7 years on your credit report.
There are no time limits for filing a Chapt. 13.
If you filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in MI and it is discharged, you can amend whatever document you want at any time. It does not matter whether it is during the process of bankruptcy or after the discharge.
No, but you will be protected under the stay for as long as the Ch. 7 is active (not been discharged or dismissed), and you have alotted amount of time to add creditors.
