OK, here it goes....
as I told you guys, we started process on the house and went to bank today to do the loan stuff and there, cos I aint got my greencard yet, and therefore am not a permanent resident or citizen, they could not include my name on the loanapplication. Hubby wasnt bothered, so that was OK.
But then the question arised bout whether my name could be on the deeds... was told to ring the title company, and they had no clue either, so they transferred me through to their lawyer, dealing with more complicated question. He was away from his desk, and what do you know, he seems to not have returned as I never got a call back!
Anyhow, any of you bought a house together before AOS was done and therefore no greencard in hand yet?
Did it obstruct with having yours or spouses name on the deeds? And if not, can they be added later?
Thanks for any advice!

We actually bought a house together before we even send the I-129F petition. My name is not on the loan, but it is on the deed. This is one of the pieces of evidence I included in the I-129F and I had it with me if they wanted to see it for the I-134. They didn't. Nothing was ever mentioned to me about it. I don't see it being an issue if you buy a house. I know many Canadians that have homes in the States. Anyway, let me know if you hear from that lawyer. I'm curious, but not worried about it.
Take care!!
I have a Green card and have worked for 7 months now full time but I wasn't allowed on the loan as I really didn't have a credit score but am on the deeds.
When I first came we refinanced then too and I was still put on the title as we were married.

You do NOT have to be an 'american' to be on the deed to a house... you don't even have to be in the country! Otherwise there couldn't be any overseas investors and they're all over the place!
Douglas..Sheridan... sanita name will appear first along with mine on our deed..no issue in illinois/// we paid cash for the house so it is a done deal...
