They may not be willing to give her a loan because of the green card, but no husband is needed for any reason.

 

It's all in Chinese - Seems like she would be the best person to deal with this - is there anything specific you are asking about?

thank you for your reply, she would like to know if her husband need to get any certified notary to authorize that she will be the one does all the paper work, and if so, where he cant get all the papers that she can use in china.

She will be buying either in her name, or in his - if they want it in both names, my guess is that that will be a non-starter. If she is buying in her name, I don't think she will need anything from the husband. My wife's son here in Yulin did all the leg work for us in purchasing our home without any glitches whatsoever - we were living in Houston at the time.

 

Any paperwork is supplied by the seller or agent. If a certified signature is needed from the husband, I'm sure he can go to the consulate for that - and that they will have any power of attorney or equivalent forms. I'm meaning the Chinese consulate in the U.S., of course.

 

I doubt that an American notary would be useful

In my case, my wife and I bought a house in China and is in both of our names. I had to go to a notary office in China and was given a Chinese name. Using that name then I signed and finger printed all of the papers along with her.
