Here is a quick explanation of how someone without a social security number can get a bank account in the US.

Some banks are more helpful with this than others.  I know Chase used to extend itself to the immigrant community.  Wells Fargo and Capital One also used to.

Also, Capital One and American Express used to be willing to extend credit to noncitizens living in the US.   What you have to do is go into a branch and talk to someone personally---don't try to apply with a standard online application.
