What is take on the guys on this forum on buying a house when your green card is still in the works?

Would your changing address always result in RFE?

Did any of you buy houses?:cool:

Looks like these days change of address (rent or buy) is triggering RFE’s more than it used to previously. (Wishful thinking) Hey may be that way your case might get touched and approved :-)
 
Tombaan, right now anything that will get your case noticed , go for it. I too have noted a change of address is triggering off something. But mind you, there are Lot of people who have filed AR-11. I can't remember the stats on that.

As per buying a house, I bought it after my labor had got approved, since I was getting close to 6 yrs on h1.
If you find some house you really like, the interest rates are still lower, and if you believe you have a steady job in the area you are living in, then buying a house will be a good idea.
hope this helps.

i haven't bought a house during the h1 stage myself but i've seen others do it. if you think your job is secure, then why wait. and besides, even if you're a citizen and you lose your job, the financial risks are the same.
 
I completed 6 years in this country. I am on EAD and do not have an H1. Recently, I bought a house. i would say- go for it!!
 
Yes, I changed my job after 180 days. No, I didn't inform abt the address change..i do not want to generate a query for sure..Rest depends on God's hands.
