I know when I went to apply for a card last time they didn't care that my credit was perfect back home, it was like starting completely fresh with no rating at all

Yes I understand all that, I'm interested in the actual physical process. From what I understand I will need an ITIN, but I also hear those aren't as easy to get these days. When I opened my american bank account a year ago they said I could get a secured credit card, but I'm not sure if I can build a credit rating with no SSN or ITIN...
