    No it is not, how would your embassy know about your bank accounts, here or elsewhere. Government Pensions are stopped. but banks?

    Regarding US bank this is from my personal experience. Happened twice an agency reported that I was deceased ultimately was sorted out it was someone else. I lived in China ( 10 years) at the time. 
     

    brief explanation in China couldn’t access account on internet or told why account was frozen Called the bank in US talked to several layers of managers and the only way to do anything Bank related I needed to go to the Branch office which was In Los Angeles ( I was in China). Flew to Los Angeles went to the branch talked to manager he called upper management.. I had Passport (US),two driver’s licenses (US and China) with photo, two bank cards from their bank. Unable to access account and had to so to Social Security for letter stating I wasn’t dead. 
     

    Went Social Security they can’t issue I’m not dead letter and provided letter stating no one has claimed death benefits. Back to bank sorted out…

     

    A few months later frozen again. I’m in China. Called US bank and they would say why not frozen. Finally I said let me guess I’m dead again. Fortunately I was in a branch in Los Angeles the day prior

    and I had just flown back to China. This time the Bank conference called me, branch I was at day prior. I’d spent about an hour at the bank discussing accounts… anyway the manager

    I met with day prior said… yes I was at the bank yesterday and I wasn’t dead at the time.

     

    it was a frustrating event and a note was put on the account.. it hasn’t happened again

    in 8 years knock on wood…. Note it was one of the largest banks in US and possibly world

    at least that’s what Wiki says… 

  2. Could be people living in same area wondering how or if a person has a visa / expired visa. I was sitting on the porch in village countryside a guy walked uo and asked how I was doing? … feeling ok? 
    eventually asked if visa was ok… I said yes you want to see it … no. 
     

    Don’t really know the guy (a retired cop ) he lives up the road about 500 meters… .. a lot of people call be name but most I’ve no idea who they are… they’ll chatter Orns husband .. small village lived here going on 8 years..

  3. In US news today… 

     

    LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — If you’re looking to travel abroad and need a passport, you’re not the only one. Currently, the rush of applications has pushed the wait time to several months.

    “We’re getting 500,000 applications a week for passports,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said March 24, calling the renewed demand for travel “unprecedented.”

    The State Department warns it is taking 10 to 13 weeks to receive a passport and the expedited process, which costs an extra $60, will take seven to nine weeks. Staffing shortages are being blamed for some of the delays.

    If this "story" was being told by anyone else, I'd think there's a remote chance it could be even partially true, but since claiming to be chased out of China this guy has made it his mission in life to create more anti-China

    You could be right…. There was a disclosure at beginning video might be paid or received freebies to make video….
