I'm going through the va for s mortgage and they told me it was about to be denied because my military background didn't relate to my current job. Has anyone heard of this happening?

Who is “they”? Honestly, that doesn’t make sense. Please see attached the link for eligibility for a VA loan.

I was in the Signal Corps and when I got my VA loan I was working as a deputy sheriff. I think someone handed you a line of BS.

It completely depends on the bank you are working with and their underwriting guidelines. My company would not deny military/veterans based on how your military background related to your current job.

It happened to me at first. A change of mortgage specialist did the trick.
