I was in the States as an international student. Since i have completed my studies i have come back to my home country. What i want to ask is, can i still invest in Bonds, Equity, CD's, etc...through my bank a/c, which is active. I will not be investing more than $5000. I do have a Social Security Numer and a active checking a/c(which i had opened up while my stay over there), and now even plan on opening up a savings a/c with the same bank. Would i be able to do that(invest) without any problems? Like from immigration office or the govt. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks.

... anyway you main problem is whether the immigration will go after you, right? No problem. As long as Uncle Sam has the way of getting into that account to take his "fair share" (taxes), on everything you made, it's alright. In fact, Uncle Sam always welcome foriegn investment/investors.

As long as you have a US Social Security number linked to these holdings, and tax returns are filed under that SS# reflecting any activity, you should be fine.
But that's only a guess...

Go to your bank in your country and ask. They would know.

I'm not an American and I can invest in US assets...
That should be a good indication.
