You will need to provide a Copy of your passport, valid Visa, and I-94 form. 

Under Regulation E, § 205.11(c)(3)(ii), the card company has up to 90 days to conclude their investigation, during which time the amount under dispute is put in abeyance (she must still pay at least the minimum amount due on undisputed charges).For Visa and MasterCard, Debbie has 120 days from the time she became aware of the problem to file a charge-back.  

I plan on making my first purchase within 12-18 months, going multi family route with a FHA loan, with my fiancee and I occupying one of the units.

Here's my situation,I'm currently on an H1B Visa.

Cons: My primary Home is relatively modest (albeit top South Bay location) vis a vis friends & relatives who own single but large homes with views and pools.

I dont know San Deigo all that well  but I suspect a 450k sfr is not all that spiffy but a 450k condo might be pretty nice.For 450k in say SF south to Gilroy on the West side of the bay.. you cant buy ANYTHING for that low of price Nothing basically.Move up to Seattle and same thing prices are not as high as SF  but still way up there.Portland where we work is one of the better bang for the buck west coast area but still Median price is 400k or more you can buy dogs in the worst part of town for 200k or so.. those same homes that most folks in the mid west buy would be 20k so you can kind of see where they are coming from its just hard for them to compute  vis a vi for rental purposes anyway.
