My wife will get SSN end of this year. Can I file Married Filing Jointly for 2020 tax?

Hi, my wife lives in out side of US.

She's been waiting for her green card interview, and she will do the interview October 14th 2021.

Since, she may get her ssn in the end of this year, can I file 2020 tax return with penalty in the end of this year with out any problem?

We married March 2019, but I had to file as single for 2019 tax because she did not have ssn.

Thank you.
