NORI and Housing Loan

[Arjun001]

Hi All,

I am citizen of India working in US on J1 Visa, I wanted to apply for J1 waiver (NORI certificate).

However, I have housing loan from HDFC bank. I am not sure how to apply NORI in this situation.

Does anyone had gone through this situation?

What all supporting documents are required to apply NORI if someone has housing loan?


Thanks,

Arjun

Hi Arjun. I am in similar situation. Did you figure out the process of getting NORI with home loan?

Fortunately, most people receive a refusal application. My father was in a similar situation. He had a housing loan. The loan on it is about five years. It was challenging for him. But one day, he filed documents for refusal. The banks didn't even want to consider them.

I was in the same boat. As I worried before applying for NORI because of my bank loan, I decided to pay it off first. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough money, so I got a loan from Besteforbrukslån.no. Thus, I received my NORI certificate without issues. I hope, this info will be helpful for someone.

Hi BNic,

You mentioned that you received the NORI certificate without having any issues while having a bank loan. I need some details on that. So you did mention the loan details in the NORI stage I affidavit? Because I am going to start the procedure and am confused about this situation. Need your guidance and advice.

Thanks!!

Well, OP, how are things looking now? Did you manage to solve your problems?
Because I am looking to decide on a similar problem for me, I would really use some good advice. I don’t have a housing loan, but I plan to get one soon because Mortgage Broker Coventry told me it is high time to get a loan. The market is in the right condition, and I will be able to save some money if I apply for a loan now? What do you think about that? Is it the right decision? I have also applied for NORI but have got no results yet.
I would be really grateful for any advice on the topic.

Hi Arjun,

I understand you are an Indian citizen working in the US on a J-1 visa and want to apply for a J-1 waiver (NORI certificate), but have concerns about how to handle your HDFC bank housing loan. Here are a few suggestions that may help:

• Contact HDFC bank to notify them you are applying for a J-1 waiver and will be remaining in the US. See if they require any documentation and ensure your loan payments will continue being made on time.
• When applying for the J-1 waiver, disclose the housing loan and provide supporting documentation from HDFC confirming the loan, payment history, and their awareness of your visa situation.
• Speak with an immigration attorney to understand the full implications of having a foreign loan, and get advice tailored to your specific situation. The attorney can review your documents and help ensure you submit a strong waiver application.
• Consider providing additional evidence of ties to your home country, such as family living there, bank accounts, assets etc., to overcome any concerns about the housing loan.

I hope these tips help provide some direction! Let me know if you have any other questions. Wishing you the very best with your J-1 waiver application.

Hi Arjun,

I understand your concern about applying for a J1 waiver (NORI certificate) while having a housing loan from HDFC Bank. While the NORI process is primarily focused on obtaining clearance from three Indian government agencies, your housing loan shouldn't directly impact your ability to apply for NORI.

However, you may want to inform HDFC Bank about your intention to apply for a J1 waiver and check if theyrequire any documentationfrom their side. As for the NORI application, the usual documents you need are:

1. A No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your employer or sponsoring agency in India (if applicable).
2. Passport copies.
3. J1 visa and DS-2019 form copies.
4. Copies of your I-94.
5. An affidavit explaining your request for the NORI certificate.
6. Proof of address (both in India and the U.S.).
7. Housing loan details (optional, depending on HDFC Bank's requirements).

It's advisable to consult with the Indian Consulate or a legal expert for specific guidance based on your situation. Others who have been through this process can also share additionalsss insights.

Good luck!

Thanks,

That could be the issue! If your Globe SIM isn’t registered, it might be causing problems with verification. Also, some services may have restrictions based on the telecom prefix of your number, especially if it's a Philippine SIM being used abroad. You could try using a US SIM to see if it works, or check if your Philippine number is fully activated for international transactions. For this, you will have to check what network does this sim belong to, there is a blog whatnetwork which you can check to whether any prefix belongs to globe or smart.



Hope this helps!
