I'm guessing the originator is thinking about purchasing the home on loan. My cousin's on the same boat too. He's waiting for his Green Card but he said he couldn't buy it because of his pending GC?!

And btw Jenny, you don't even need to have a state ID and SSN to buy a house in here ( provided that you're not a criminal or an illegal immigrant ). With the recent economic slump that the U.S. has seen off late ( mainly the weak U.S. dollar ),  a lot of investors are landing in lucrative places such as Miami and East Coast buying condominiums and apartments...and why shouldn't they?!
