I am a Non-Resident Alien (NRA) currently holding accounts with IBKR and Charles Schwab; I have submitted Form W-8 and received Form 1042-S. I plan to use an ITIN to open a bank account, but since almost all banks require a U.S. address, I intend to use a service like Anytime Mailbox to address this. Does this mean the bank will view me as a resident rather than an NRA? Will the tax forms I receive for income—such as bank interest—be the same as those issued to U.S. residents? Does this result in me having a "dual" tax status with the IRS? Wouldn't this be illegal?

UK resident here. I have 2 Wyoming LLCs taxed as C-Corps (one parent company and one subsidiary), both with EINs and a Wyoming suite address. Has anyone successfully opened US business bank accounts (Chase, BoA) for similar entities without traveling to the US? Can accounts be opened remotely, or is an in-person visit required? Any experiences or alternative bank recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Went to Manhattan Midtown DMV for the Standard Non-Driver ID. Was really smooth. Made an appointment a month before and already filled out the application online. When I went there my appointment barcode was scanned and I got a number. First I was called for taking the picture, second to go to the "real" counter. I had to give the application, the passport, I-94 admission number and my drivers license or two credit cards. After half an hour I was out of the building with an Interim Document in my hands. It really was as easy as it reads.

I opened an NFCU account a little over a week ago; I have a $2,000 direct deposit and $5,000 in savings. Last night, I noticed a pre-approval offer for the unsecured CashRewards credit card. I applied and was told to wait 24–48 hours; today, I found out I was approved—which was a huge surprise—though the credit limit is the minimum $500. The card offers a $250 cash bonus for spending $2,500 within 90 days, but I don't know how to meet that requirement given the low limit; there's no way I can spend that much over three months. If I call them and set up a $5,000 secured loan, would that prompt them to increase my credit limit?

Hello Cloud Residents, I am trying to get as many proof of address documents before my trip to the USA. I am currently using my friends address and I want to get as many proof documents before I go for the Florida State ID and banks just to be safe. I have made a rent contract and made renters insurance as well for proof but I wanted to have a few more documents. I tried T-Mobile as it is widely recognized in the USA and did not want to go for anything with a small brand and risk being asked for more and more documents. But when I go to put my ITIN and foreign passport it does not accept it. How have other members passed the verification of T mobile? (Not T Mobile Prepaid). Also any other proof of address documents that I can obtain please let me know, I can not change any bills of my friend to my name as I have no time but anything else I can do I would greatly appreciate! Feel free to let me know in the comments what more I can do! Thank you!
