The buyer was brought over here by the U.S. government to work for one specific company because he had unique skills / abilities that no one here had and he has a 01 Visa (lets him work for this one company - if he gets fired before his permanent green card comes through I guess he has to go back to the UK), he has good credit in the UK - but no credit to speak of here in the US.  He has had 3 mortages over there.  He has "permanent employment" status with his company and is only a few months way from having a permanent green card - I guess he's been here for 16 or 17 months now. 

His down payment and income have all been verified, at this point it's all about the non-US credit history and his greencard status.  All other contingencies on the contract have been removed.  He was preapproved when the property went into escrow, but because of his Visa status I guess they will not fund the loan.

Do you have any suggestions or referrals for a loan that might be able to go through for him?  Has anyone been in this situation and how did it turn out?  Sale price is $675,000 with 20% down.  Thanks for any insight!
