I've lived here for 4 months. I have my SSN and I have a BoA current account with debit card and a BoA credit card which I had to put up $1000 security for a $1000 limit (trying to build a credit rating). I don't really want to apply for any other credit cards yet but I really want the BA and AA cards.
