Well, I have an account with HSBC here and they transfer money each month for me to my US bank account. If you have an account with HSBC, they should be able to do it-- talk to someone else. If you don't have an account there, probably better to go to Western Union or some money transfer place like that.
Here's something I just learned. Apparently in the last 6 months or so, it is technically impossible to DIRECTLY send money from a foreign account to a US bank account. Due to 9/11 security stuff, ALL money is screened (and charged $20!!) and sent through somewhere else (can't remember exactly where, I was too angry about getting charged $20 a month w/o warning). So part of your problem might just be that you aren't asking the right question (seems like in Qatar you have to already know the answer before you can ask the question)... So if you are asking if HSBC can directly link to your account in the US, the answer is NO. But, if you ask if HSBC can send money that will eventually reach your account in the US, the answer should be YES.
