My situation unfortunately disqualifies me for a conventional loan at the moment, as I only have 1 year of work history/tax returns in the US.I was previously employed in the UK, however due to a 1 year gap in employment history (whilst I was going through the immigration process and was legally not allowed to work) my lender has told me they will not be able to complete the loan.This leads me to commercial loans!

I am also an immigrant to this country.
