I just got rejected for personal account with residential address due to EWS

I have about 10 months of U.S. credit history, but both Credit Karma and Apple Card are asking me to complete ID verification with a U.S. ID instead of verifying me automatically. Could this be happening because I’m using a Canadian phone number on my accounts? Since Canadian numbers also use the +1 country code, I thought they were usually treated the same as U.S. numbers for verification purposes. Has anyone else experienced extra identity verification because of using a Canadian number, even with some established credit history?

After some back and forth, I finally got approved for the Apple Card with my ITIN. Instant approval for $3000, and they didn’t ask me for ID verification or any extra documents. For data points, I used Tello roaming data, set my device region to United State , and matched the time zone as well as @Ain - Cloud Resident recommended. My credit history is already over 7 years old, so maybe that helped too. Just sharing in case anyone else was dealing with the same Apple Card ITIN issue.

Just checking if any canadian here that got apple card approved and if you were able to use you canadian phone number on the application? Thanks in advance!

I applied for apple card at 9 month credit history last month and got declined saying i only had 1 open account and balance is too low and also insufficient credit history. Today i reapplied with 10 month credit history and an increased utilization ~1% with tello data on desktop browser and got hit with id verification instead of a decline. 1. Does it mean my approval odds are getting better? 2. How to avoid getting the id verification since it only accepts US ids and i have none? I followed all the tips including tello data, desktop browser but stil got id verification. 3. Is desktop better or mobile wallet on iphone for better chamces of not getting id verification? Any tips appreciated. Thanks in advance!
