No SSN, Paycheck on H1b

[Hareesh2460]

Hello,

I’ve applied for ITIN in march 2020 at one of the IRS center. After few months, I've received a letter from IRs to send my original passport. I was conerned about sending my passport but that’s the only option im left with. Ive sent my passport to irs in august 2020.

But, unfortunately i had to move to different address in october, since my current lease was ended. When ive called irs to inform tgat they said they cant update the address for passport, they will be sending my passport to old address and if thats not received the passport will be returned back to irs and then to my new address.

I've received my ITIN but I haven’t received my passport yet. Im concerned about my passport now. Ive reported case with TAS but they asked me to just wait. Due to covid everything is getting delayed so they asked me to just wait

So, Ultimately I've lost my passport and I can't apply for SSN. so my Employer can't run my payroll. How Should I report this to USCIS. My H1b was active since Oct2020. But, no paycheck since then. Will that be a problem

Are you sure you lost passport or IRS has it ?

If possible do mail fwd with USPS and see if gets routed to new address. 

Having no paycheck is an issue, wait till you get passport.

Do you have scanned copies of your passport?  Try taking it to SSN office along with correspondence from IRS and see if they will do an exception and issue an SSN to you.  

Also do mail fwd. with USPS to new address or mail pick up option from USPS,  (if not already done so).  Good luck.

Not having an SSN yet is not a reason to not run payroll. Modern payroll systems have provisions for running payroll when the person doesn't have an SSN yet.

Are you sure you need a passport to apply for an SSN? Can't your state driver's license serve as proof of identity instead?
