E2 Visa - 6 months in the USA - Loan advice

[Sylvain Partisotti]

Hello everyone,

My wife and I moved to the USA (Western Pa) at the end of last year on E2 visas (24 months automatically renewed while I work with the company).

We are currently renting an apartment and we are looking to buy our primary residence by the end of the year (the lease ends October 31st).

I contacted a few brokers and they all said the same:

"We can't lend you money on an E2 visa because it is too short, plus you don't have 2+ years of credit history."

Is anybody in this situation or does anyone have some advice for us?

Thank you,

S
