For my mortgage application, there was a question about my legal status here. I provided my I797 approval since my Visa had expired. The lender returned with the following comment. How should I respond to this? Any inputs please?

"This is acceptable but you sent the renewal. We would also need the following:

Copy of current valid visa"

This is tricky
1) call the lender and inform them that the visa is not linked to your legal status in the country. If they have a different department that deals with such issues, ask to talk to them.
2) if you can't convince them, have a lawyer draft out a legal statement explaining your situation / or go for another lender.

Do not send a copy of your visa until you are comfortable doing so. I'm today's charged environment I worry that low information bank personnel may assume your illegal.

This is the answer. Visa stamp is only required for travel purposes. Your stay in the US is based on your approved i797.

Send copy of I94 maybe?

Do you have your i140 approved?

Why can’t you send the copy of your visa stamped on your passport ?

Copy of expired visa, entry stamps, i94 & approved i797 and explain the situation. Usually underwriters would check with their legal team to make sure you’re eligible per Fannimae/Freddie mac guidelines but if it doesn’t work find another lender.
