What is your citizenship? Do you have US SSN and credit history?

I think people have been confused by my claim of living in China. It might have slipped their mind that it is possible that I am born and raised in the US, American citizen, with US SSN and credit history who has moved overseas.

In my situation it is almost as easy as living in the US to apply for credit cards. Just a matter of having a US address, and there are several ways to do that.

Now we're really going off topic.
