I started work today with a TN visa for a US company, as part of the initial paperwork I am required to fill the I-9 form which asks for a SSN and a US address however I haven't been able to go to the US due to the COVID situation and I was planning on moving there by the end of August, to which my employer agreed was okay.
However now the payroll team is asking that I either have a SSN or at least I have applied for one for them to be able to pay me. But checking the requirements to apply for a SSN it seems like it can only be done in person. Is there any way to obtain or apply for the SSN online? Please do let me know! Thanks!
