apology and thanks for finance advise for uk intern xxx
 

hello there

I wish to publicly apologise for being impatient and posting a new thread! (ive never been on a forum before and saw it had been viewed a lot but no replies...) anyway at least it got u lot writing something rather than nothing!!he he

I also want to thank the kind people who have replied to me to help xx

I have a j-1 visa and for those who do not wish to be "unkind" i must have come across wrong in my email as i do not any intention of applying for "credit" just to open a basic bank account to pay in my wages in the US. My savings are also for living expenses whilst im in the US and the reason I am on this forum is so i do not damage my credit rating any further!!!!

I think il get a ssn/or card because ive something in my documents thats talks about this matter which il look into xx

I hope everyone is accomodating as the people who offer advice on this site when i get over there!

oh and im a "she" xxx

You really need to get a hang of the internet forum thingy. You posted this message a few minutes before at the end of your existing thread, so why have you started a new one now?

Re: apology and thanks for finance advise for uk intern xxx
 

Ok - break given. Advice though - new threads are used for new conversation topics. By posting the message the first time those people who are interested in reading it will read it.

Wishing you every success in your time over here! :)

Hello and welcome to BE. :)

I can't quite remember the answers you got in your previous thread but you will be able to open a bank account once you have a US address. Some banks will say you need a SSN to open an account...this is not true ask to speak to a supervisor or the manager.

I wish you all the best and don't forget if you are feeling homesick you always have us. ;)

That's right. We're definietely the best cure for homesickness. You chat with us for a while online, and you remember why it was that you chose to come to America to get away from all your fellow Brits! :)
