Vanguard asks if we are a Resident or Non Resident with regards to the citizenship in US. H1B falls under NR for citizenship but Resident for Tax purposes right? How does one open a Vanguard account then?
The residency rules for immigration and tax are completely independent, suggest you look up the Alien Tax Guide from the IRS to work out if you’re a resident, the calculation can be non trivial

Why don’t India and Pakistan like each other? I am white and don’t understand
Yeah youre resident
So for tax purposes if I'm resident, can I open up a Vanguard account for investment?
Yes. I opened mine when I was on H1B. They want to know if you’re a resident for tax purposes.
