Question by Bond M: Why do people wait for Green Card before buying home in USA ?
We are on the H1B visa in the United States from past 3 years, applied for the green card and planning to buy a home (prices are low now and also benefit the economy if possible), but the question arises – why do people wait to buy property until they get the Green Card ?
Best answer:
Answer by Immigration Lawyer
Because H-1B is a temporary non-immigrant visa. If you are terminated and lose your status, and cannot transfer to another employer, you will have to leave the USA immediately (there is no grace period). This is why people wait for a green card or at least more than 180 after filing the I-485. Especially in this economy, I hear every day from people who were terminated by their H1b employers and have to leave the country.
