You don't even need a green card to open an account. My husband came here on an H1B visa and could open a bank account, and we have friends from Switzerland who continued to work for a Swiss company and were on an E or F type visa, and they could open accounts. I've even heard of a bank (maybe Bank of America?) that was allowing "undocumented" immigrants from Mexico to open accounts.
How does your fiance suggest you manage your money?
