Moving back to the US

[Paul Granneman]

All,

I have been an "ex-pat" for most of my life. It is finally time for me and my family to move back to the US.

The question I have is: if I was to try and move into your house how would I fare with the background check, etc.?

The last time I actually lived in the US was 1987. I have good credit, but no rental or ownership history of US property. My wife is Japanese and has never lived in the US (so no SSN and no work history). My job is new in the US, so I cannot show longevity for that. My previous employer was a US company, but we worked overseas so they may or may not verify.

This is a real scenario so I would appreciate honest responses and any advice that you BP folks can muster.

Thanks!
