I would like to recommend Charles Schwab as an emigrant friendly bank. Their official policy is that new applicants must reside at least six months in the US before opening accounts, but in our case they made an exception.

 

Also, before applying, search for any ongoing offers. A current offer code is REFER, which is good for $100 for new accounts.

 

We get no reimbursements from Charles Schwab and are not affiliated with them rather than being their customers. Just happy with their service.

 

There is $1000 minimum to open brokerage account with Charles Schwab, but this requirement is waived when opening together with “High Yield Investor Checking” account. And as far as checking accounts go, this is a darn nice checking account. No monthly fee, no minimums, no foreign ATM rate surcharges, no foreign transaction fees, unlimited ATM fee rebates.
