    Since 9/11, all banks won't let you open an account with them if you do not have proof of legal status and tax ID or SSN.

    If you hold non-immigrant visa such as H-1B or J-1, you are eligible to obtain SSN and open a bank account.

    If you hold student visa, you can open a bank account without SSN.

    If you enter US with visitor's visa, you are ineligible to open a bank account or obtain tax ID.

    I recently had Fraud or Scam hard experience when try to open a US bank account, I paid $1464 USD (a package including: incorprate,

    US address and US phone number, US business bank account ) to a company, they only email me several banks' names and their

    Contact phone number, and let me contact them and also told I need to come to US in person to apply for US bank account.

    The more bad things is I failed when I complained to PayPal, as this company had my signature against me, my signature was

    Left when I signed their invoice and there is tracking number on the invoice. PayPal told there is my signature on the

    Invoice and this is a kind of service not Physical products, they can't help. This company is profeesional scammer. Hope

    Everyone see my words don't try this kind of service. They are just scammer. This company's name is: Globes America, Inc

    There website is: GlobesAmerica.com its PayPal Account Name: TAX TREASURE INC (related website with it:
