Now some financil institution only allow citiznes and PR to open
new accounts or have some priviledged like tele access etc.
How do they verify our immigration status in addition to
asking "Are you a citizen or resident alien?".

They do check the validity of our SSN and I don't know
from SSA or some private firms. They say they also depend
upon public record. I don't know what kinds of public record
can have visa status.

Do regular commercial bank now have these restriction too?
If yes, nonimmigrant can only depend on cash for all transactions
