Help bank question.
My ten year green card has gone awol and immigration have stamped my passport allowing me to work, I've been told it's quicker to get my citizenship 
than wait for my GC. Is there a bank out there that will let me have my own account I cant even have a joint one with my Husband at his daft bank 
at the moment I have my pay paid into a Chase account, I dont really like that idea.

Re: Help bank question.
Just open a regular free checking account -- avoid savings for the moment. Persevere beyond the counter drone using sickly sweet insistence. I like Anabella's suggestion -- tell 'em that they are discriminating against you because of your national origin!

Re: Help bank question.
even the manageress had her finger stuck in her arse 
My OH lost it that day with them and I had to drag him out of the bank 
When I find one that will take me on he then will close his account with said bank.
