I managed to open a US account with HSBC without being in the US but it was incredibly painful.

It involved getting a solid introduction to a client manager and relentlessly following him up over the course of 2 months to make it happen.

Incredibly painful when we were waiting for an account to put our investment capital into. If I had to do it again I would likely fly out - so long as I could tack on some business development in the process.
