Hi guys, not sure if I'm posting in the right please so if so please move this topic. I recently have sent my aos papers in, my k1 'expired', I only have my passport as my ID, I have a social security card. With this information given, can you guys tell me if I can open up a bank account? I know States and banks all differ but generally, am I allowed to? If not, may I get a prepaid debit card? Like one of those from Walmart or something like the one on www.card.com

I work at a bank in Minnesota.

Generally, with an SSN and your passport, you should be fine. If you have your AOS NOA1, bring that too for security. They will have to note you're not a US Citizen, and are also not a flight risk (charging off a thousand dollars to an account and then leaving the country). It is sometimes easiest to open the account with your spouse, if possible.
