If you became a U.S. tax resident, your reporting becomes global.
FBAR is required if the combined value of your foreign financial accounts exceeded $10,000 at any point during the year.
Form 8938 is filed with your tax return if the value of your foreign financial assets exceeds the applicable threshold.
These are different forms with different rules and requirements — and the penalties for not filing can be serious.
