Since vanguard doesnt allow “non-resident aliens” to open an account, i was curious what do my “non-resident alien” friends (whether on h1 or otherwise) do to get around this block?
what are other viable alternatives to mutual funds? and do they allow non-resident aliens to register?

"If you do not timely file Form 8843, you cannot exclude the days you were present in the U.S. as an exempt individual or because of a medical condition that arose while you were in the U.S."
So don't file that form. And then file 1040.
