    When you claim refugee status like this, what happens to any assets you have in US banks? Do those get blocked? Any property you own in the US, what happens to that?

      Itā€™s not as though an international bank gives a fuck.

      The same way I can pull money from my international bank in Canada currently, I could as a refugee.

        I just looked it up, and a few banks Iā€™ve heard of do seem to be international (HSBC, Chase, etc), but it doesnā€™t seem to be the default case for US banks.
