Hi everyone! Do you know of any student loan service that we can use while staying here? For context, me and my wife are here in US. She is starting her MBA. We don’t have GC, so we can’t use... (1/2)

If it’s any consolation, my federal loans for my MBA are in the 8% range... criminal rate but that’s what the govt put us in some 8 years back

Hang in there!

Discover. Her college doesn’t co-sign student loans.
Will appreciate any help/pointers!
Thanks. And please stay safe.

Check out credit unions.

Thank you!

I also came to the US on a student visa. My brother was able to get student loans with a US citizen/resident Co-signer. We were fortunate to have a close family friend do us the favor... for which we are eternally thankful to him. I believe some financial institutions do give foreign students loans in the US for their graduate degrees, but I only saw that for top MBA programs. Hope this info helps

Thank you for the information!

I got a loan from Earnest without a co-signer. Don't have a GC. But you might get a better rate with a co-signer

Thank you for letting me know!

Hi All,
Really need some input. We have our new construction done by April 2023. Builder is giving us 28,000 credits which can be used towards closing cost and buy lock rate for 6 months from now and giving us the interest rate for 6.75% for 30 years from US bank. But I also spoke to credit union they give us 5 ARM for 5.5% but can lock rate in feb 2023. So should go with the US bank with 6.75% plus incentives or wait till feb 2023 and thn lock rates(us bank doesn’t give us ARM rates).

Interested to see some perspectives - currently working at a Payroll & Benefits Specialist at a fast growing company and recently passed my PHR! I just started this role only a few months ago but am already feeling like I can take on more, but not as much as a HR manager. I’m struggling to understand where exactly it is I can go from here. I’m 25, have 3 years of experience, and get paid $59k/year.

Where does one go from here? Thanks in advance for any and all answers!
