Mortgages for non citizens

We relocated to Carlsbad from the UK in December and wish to buy a home. We have been told that because of our lack of US credit history and the fact that we are on visas, that we are only able to borrow the $417 conforming loan amount. We need to borrow just a little more to buy the house we want (another $10,000).
We had an excellent UK credit history and are credit scores here are over 700. We have $235,000 as a deposit.
We have been approved for the $417 loan

FIRST ANSWER

I believe that you might need a "portfolio" loan, that is a loan that the lender does not sell on the secondary market. I would suggest that you call a good loan rep and ask if they do Portfolio loans and then go from there. One suggestion would be to call Paul Winquist who is a Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist at 781-258-2600 (cell) or send him an email at Winquist.Paul@gmail.com. I hope this information can help you in some way.
