I remember my wife going through all stages of visas. Student visa, H1B, green card, then citizen. If you've never gone through it, it's complicated and involves a lot of waiting. Green card was the most complex out of all of them. We had less paperwork getting a mortgage and buying a house. It's very bureaucratic, and could use with some simplification. But once you're a citizen, it's smooth sailing.

- bdhess 2y agoWhat is the check that we need to do for aspiring citizens that wouldn’t interest a lender? Also, making sure the house is sufficient collateral for the loan is a whole bunch of additional overhead.

- irjustin 2y ago> aspiring citizens that wouldn’t interest a lender If it was possible the lender doesn't care who you are just your ability and willingness to pay for the loan. The best signals for that is history of repayment combined with cash, salary and collateral. All other checks are the ones because those signals weren't strong enough and gov requirements for anti AML, good person, etc but those are gov reqs.
