International credentials don't always translate into a U.S. credit score. We understand the difference.
First Contact NYC has experience assisting diplomats, UN personnel, Permanent Mission staff and international assignees establishing homes in New York and the surrounding Tri-State area.
Understanding the applicant, not just the credit score
A newly arrived diplomat may have substantial income, significant assets, official government employment and impeccable professional credentials – while having little or no established U.S. credit history. That does not necessarily make the individual financially weak. It means the application needs to be understood and presented appropriately.
Preparing the right documentation
Depending on the assignment, supporting documentation may include official Mission or employer verification, proof of compensation, bank or asset statements, identification, immigration or diplomatic documentation, and confirmation of assignment duration.
A realistic path to securing the home
Diplomatic and UN appointments can involve privileges and immunities that differ according to official status. Where interpretation is required, FCNYC coordinates with the appropriate Mission, employer or qualified legal professional rather than providing legal advice.
The objective is not simply to find an apartment the client likes. It is to identify an apartment they have a realistic path to securing.
