That depends on your situation.
If you have filed but not received discharge of debt, then you may refile immediately. If you filed for chapter 7 and received discharge of debt, then you can file eight years after discharge date for chapter 7. If filed under chapter 13 and received discharge of debt, can refile after two years for same chapter 13.

If the first bankruptcy, C. 7, was dismissed for cause, you have to wait 180 days before refiling. If you file a C. 7 and get a discharge, you can file a C, 13 immediately after the 7 is closed, called a "Chapter 20" by bankruptcy lawyers who know what they are talking about.

In Wisconsin how long do you have wait to refile a chapter 13?
Bankruptcy is a federal procedure and court. State laws have a bearing on some issues, especially exemptions, but otherwise the rules are the same. If the Chapter 13 was dismissed for cause, you will have to wait 180 days. If it was dismissed for any other reason, you can refile any time. You may not be entitled to a discharge, however, so check with a bankruptcy lawyer and do it right.

This Q has been asked and answered about a zillion times before....the answer remains the same...and would have been available to you immediately had you followed the Wiki system: Under the bankruptcy laws effective on October 17, 2005, Chapter 7 cannot be filed unless the debtor was discharged from the previous Chapter 7 or bankruptcy more than eight years ago.

I didn't get your question. Are you trying to ask if you can able to file bankruptcy again even though you had filed previously one? As far as i know, Student loans won't discharge in bankruptcy. It's better consult this from the bankruptcy advisers.
If you had bankruptcy in 2004 can you file for bankruptcy again?
Some strict limitations have been set by the new bankruptcy law. Debtors will not be able to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy if they've been through a Chapter 7 within eight years of the new filing. If they want to file for Chapter 13, they will not receive a discharge within two years of a previous Chapter 13 discharge and within four years if they were discharged from a Chapter 7, 11 or 12 bankruptcy.
