If we are considered resident aliens, then it's safe to assume that we are also classified as "other U.S. person" for Discover bank.

Also, do credit unions also have high yield savings accounts and CDs?
As far as the IRS is concerned, if you don't have a green card but pass the substantial presence test, you're a resident alien:

Have family petition that is now officially current but with past skeletons, is risky to move forward with AOS. Life is on hold for now until laws and/or government becomes more friendly. Life kind of sucks at the moment but like Al Bundy and the mighty cockroach, I survive.
