HELP! Need Mortgage Lending advice!

Hello everyone! I'm having a challenge, hoping to get some advice on taking action for my situation...I currently live and work abroad in China, and am being transferred back to the US in the Fall to continue my job there (have been in the same career for 30 years, although with different companies). I am wanting to buy a home when I get back, and have contacted a few lenders on getting a mortgage. However, I am getting a few turndowns as I am being told told that because I don't have W2's (China doesn't use these) and I haven't been in this position for 2 years, I'm not able to get a loan. I DO have a healthy salary, excellent credit, a good down payment, and have provided my bank/tax returns for the past few years. Anyone have any advice on where to turn at this point? Are there lenders that deal with expats earning income abroad? Any advice would be appreciated!
