CR-1 Expiration Coming Soon - Banks concerned about expiration date

[silverjetplane 34]

Hello everyone,

Wow - can't believe I'm back on VJ already! Thanks to everyone for your continued guidance and help!

My husband (CR-1) and I (US citizen) are applying for a student loan for him. We submitted a copy of his GC with the application and it was denied since the financial institution doesn't like that his graduation date is listed as sometime in 2020, but his GC expires in February 2017. I explained that he's a permanent resident but didn't want to get into all the nuances since only we really understand all of that anyway.

My questions are: how can I get this resolved? I was told that if I have some documentation showing a later date or proof that he has permanent residency, that would work. Does this type of documentation exist either digital or physical? Has anyone else run into something similar and what did you do? I've looked at the USCIS site but I'm just getting started with this whole ROC business now, so I haven't done a whole lot of research yet. I tried searching the forums, but came up empty handed.

Any advice would help.

Thanks!

hi

nope, 90 days before the card expires, he must remove conditions, he will receive NOA1, which is the extension of the GC for 1 year

but he must prove bona fide marriage to get the 10 year GC

but for now that's all he has

You may only be able to get a loan (at least from that specific bank) once he has his 10-year GC. No such record exists that you are asking for precisely because he's still on his 2-year (conditional) card.

Thanks everyone. We ended up going with a different financial institution that wasn't as strict in this requirement. Appreciate the help!

At my bank they gave me a 4 year loan for a motorcycle, and asked about my 2 year card, however the money is coming out of a joint account my husband has had for 10+ years so they didnt give me much gruff. Have you tried seeing if they would accept you as a co-signer?
