HI all,

My partner and I are applying for a joint mortgage with a bank - partner as British citizen and me with spouse visa.

We have got the mortgage offer, no valuation is needed since the valuation was done within 3 months. Were told it was proceed to the underwriting part.

What concerns me is, the advisor didn't actually take a look of my visa permit, let alone take a copy of it (he said we have A-passed the credit check, so the visa shouldn't be a problem ). Anyone has experience in mortgage with visa holder ? Do you still member what document was required ? ( I have seen quite a few posts saying mortgage got approved and declined, which is really worrying!)

Thanks

  • Why are you saying that you got a mortgage offer but the case is still to proceed to the underwiting?
    You would never get the OFFER before the undrewriting has passed.
    Which bank are yoy applying with?

    Yep, which lender and what's the loan to value?

    Sounds like the Broker has taken you to Halifax.

    If you have lived and worked here 3 years, no problem.
