Re: Opening a US checking account without state ID?

Me too. As someone who couldn't get an SSN because they were on a H4 all I had to start off with was my UK ID and it was fine. I did use our lease, which my name was on as proof of address.

Re: Current Travel Situation UK to USA?

This wasn't for UK travel, but we used Walgreens for travel to Hawaii and we had the test results back in a couple of hours too. It was a really straightforward process and we didn't have to pay.
