Binance started to restrict the US customers in 2020 itself and they announced the restriction in 2019 so every customer may be aware of this. If Binance wants you can recover your funds from Binance but you should complete your KYC as mentioned above and it will be a time-consuming process. ALready someone said that he can't recover funds for being US resident but its your turn to ask the support for further details.

I did register and entered my SSN and got verified instantly. binance.us say they can't help, and now I have asked binance.com. Doesn't look very good so far. I don't understand there might be so many people like me who were inactive or the email went into spam and they didn't know what was happening. Luckily I had a smaller amount.
Few weeks ago, I was able to recover large amounts from localbitcoins. They were fast and very helpful.
