Try opening a bank account as a foreign US resident. It took my over a month to get my bank account and required copious documentation and a lawyer. All the time there was no guarantee that I would actually get the account. I personally know several US expats who were unable to get bank accounts. It's so much work for the banks that many are just not accepting US citizens for new accounts.
