Why did you say “well not everyone outside of US can just go to the bank” and then your first option is “go to the bank” smh lol

Tell you what I see. Stress stress stressed out. Even with a manager on all three levels still not worth a heart attack. Money, for all the good it does, there's a cost. One thing is true, on it's own money does not make one happy. That's an inside job money cat buy. Once contented now hungry for more, 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸🏃‍♂️

hi James, i have some personal questions, hope you can give me some advices.
I was born in the United States, but I have been living in an Asian country with my parents since childhood. I don't have a U.S. address. Currently, I am pursuing my graduate studies. I plan to work in the U.S. during the winter and summer breaks, but I'm concerned about not having a U.S. bank account for my employer to deposit my earnings.
Therefore, I would like to inquire about how someone like me, with U.S. citizenship but no U.S. address, can apply for a bank account. Any guidance would be appreciated.
