Do lenders accept H1B for a primary home?
Many do, especially with enough remaining visa time and clean employment documentation. The lender and underwriting path matter more than a generic “yes/no.”
What if my I-94 / petition extension is pending?
Timing matters. Bring dates to the call and we will tell you whether to wait, use a portfolio lender, or rent short-term.
Can NRI / foreign-income buyers use this too?
Yes. NRI and foreign-investor paths are different products — we route you correctly instead of forcing a W2 process.
