No, you only need a work authorization to open a bank account. Students on J1 or F1 visas open bank accounts all the time. Obviously the person at the bank has no idea what they are saying.
My husband open a bank account on day one he arrived with a J1. He also got a SS card, driver's license, and bought a car. My BIL when he arrived on an F1 did the same. I helped him.
What is going on is your fiancee isn't really in the US "working", basically you have visiting you on "vacation". I don't know if he's working during that time, but basically he's a vacationer.
That makes getting stuff like a bank account a lot harder because he has no permenant address, etc. How long are you planning on having him commute in?
And if you are together and getting married get ready for a major change in taxes for him. Probably for the worse for both of you. You'll end up with a lot more in bills.

Yea, again, he didnt get a mortgage- I did. Hes not a student or working here, so no bank account for now. I said he is vacationing. He'll be doing this until we are married and I sponser him in.
What do you mean get ready for a major change in taxes? We do need to get in touch with a FA about this. I work in US, pay US taxes and always filed HOH for my daughter and I. He works in UK, pays UK taxes. Not sure how the filing status would go. How will we end up in a lot more bills? How do you figure?
