I'm currently in the US on a K-1 and I just received my SSN, haven't filed for AOS and haven't married the US Citizen yet. 

 

I opened a checking account with Discover, I was able to do that online with help from their customer service on the phone. They told me I had to fill in a W-9 even if not all of its conditions applied to me. When I informed at PNC bank, they told me that to open a checking account with them, I'd have to fill in a W-8. Can somebody please explain to me what those documents are and what am I supposed to do?

 

"Life is a journey." At this moment, it's taking me to the USA to the woman I love.
