Conventional loans are approved on a more stringent guidelines as compared to FHA however conventional loans are a more popular choice if you have an excellent credit history as the interest rates are lower in comparison and conventional loans do not have an upfront mortgage insurance or funding fee added to the loan.
An FHA mortgage is a government-backed home loan with more flexible lending requirements than those for conventional loans. Because of this, you need to pay a monthly mortgage insurance premiums along with your monthly loan payments and an Upfront mortgage insurance premium that is rolled into your loan.

The mortgage application process is where you fill out the application, sign various forms that authorize the us to process your loan, and deliver your documentation requirements, such as bank statements, pay stubs, W2's, etc. You should understand that the next process cannot begin until these documents are completed or received thus it's imperative that you get your documentation in within 48 hours of completing an application.
When the processor gets the clear to close they then schedule and coordinate with all the parties the time and location to sign the final documents to close the loan. This normally only takes an hour to schedule.
When the underwriter is done reviewing your loan they will send "conditions to close" to your processor. These are normally just requirements for further documentation to support your file. When these needs have been satisfied the underwriter will give a final approval and clear to close.
When everything is scheduled the lender then draws the document package and sends it to the closing company. This can be done by overnight delivery, fax, or electronically. It can take one to two days. You meet, sign the papers, and close the loan.
When all of your documentation is received it, the loan file gets assigned to a processor who verifies and validates all of the information to be true and correct. Verification requests may be sent to your employers, mortgage holder/landlord and lending institutions. This is done electronically when possible. It is usually during this time frame that the appraisal and the title policy are ordered. When all the information is collected, the processor then verifies that basic lender loan requirements have been met. The loan file is then packaged in a manner the lender specifies. The completed package (including the appraisal and title report) is then sent to the underwriting department to a lender specified location.
The underwriter reviews your loan package to make sure it conforms to all the guidelines required for that loan product. They also review the appraisal and title report and may do additional validation of employment, mortgage payments, and credit and anything else they feel is necessary to document your loan. They have ultimate power and decision authority over the approval of your loan. The time required to do this is driven by the volume in the market. Most lenders today use Automated Underwriting, the advantage is less documentation and it speeds up the process.
