Hi guys,

I am unsure where to post this question.
I would like to ask if it is possible for a conditional green card holder (through K1 visa) to purchase a house with spouse?

Thanks in advance.

Yes absolutely. I jointly bought a house with my USC husband before I even entered the country or had any greencard.

Property tax is based on the value of the home and has nothing to do with a couple owning the house together or not.

Talk to the banks. Each has its own criteria. It depends on the backgrounds of the person or persons applying for the loan. It might be harder or easier depending on the couple.

Yes.

Credit score, financial stability and debt to gain ratios are what they look at. Your USC spouse should likely be the main loan holder.

I disagree.

The USC doesn't need to be the main loan holder.

I am the main loan holder on mortgage, and we bough the house when I was on the conditional green card.

Reading is wonderful. "Should likely" does not say must be. Whomever has the better paying job with the higher credit score. As a new immigrant, that often will be the USC but may not be.

Mestis you were hardly new to the USA because you'd worked here since 2006. You had ample time to build a good credit rating and also likely had a good job already in hand.
