the bank gets all your info and they make you talk to a immigration person, and you tell them all your info(name, parents names, address, phone number...etc)

You get a TIN (taxpayer's identification number) from the IRS. File form W-7. See link below for official info.
Don't pay attention to the rubbish others are posting.

If you have a valid visa to be in this country, you can apply for an EIN number - it's just like a social security number. But without either an EIN or SS# you will not be able to open a bank account.

Andy is correct. Talk to the Bank they will tell you if you get the right person.
Most don't care who or what you are-they like new accounts. But they will watch if you have strange activity in your account. And will record it.

You don't need a SS to open an account, you just need a counsular ID card and some other type of ID, at least that's what you need here in AZ.

Does this help? I found it on a cool site.
"Open a bank account. I opened a bank account perfectly legally in Florida, where a number of aliens work on luxury foreign-owned yachts and the bank staff are used to nonresident clients."

my friend is an international student, which means she has no ss #.. she opened an account the very next day she got here with BofA. Now if that's not the case for you... well.....

You're outta luck.
They have to have an SSN to report any interest you may acquire
