I accepted a role with a "smaller" US company, owned by a bigger retailer company. I won't name them because then I'll be easily identifiable.
Essentially, I'm a person who will require a TN visa. The company's background check requires a SSN but I don't have one. I can't get one without a valid work authorization, for which the company can't provide unless I pass their background check. So we're at an impasse.
My recruiter told me that they're trying to figure out a solution but we're 3 weeks in since I accepted the offer, with little to no communication or details about what they're doing to find a solution. I've followed up plenty and was reassured they're trying to find a solution. The only solution is to either do a background check in my country, or to provide work auth and then complete it. Not sure what's taking so long.
I like the job and company and want to proceed with them, but at this point I'm feeling like I should move on.
I'm concerned the company is just stringing me along now and interviewing other candidates with no intention of hiring me and not telling me.
I might still have a shot with another offer, but I wasn't super excited about that job. Better a bird in the hand.
I have started accepting new interview requests but quite tired of interviewing.
So thoughts? Should I move on here? Has the company given up on me and isn't being honest?
