My wife does not have a SSN

My wife entered the US through a Fiance visa in May 2021. We applied for status readjustment but we have not heard anything from USCIS or from the Social security administration. Therefore, she did not have any income during the year 2021.

When working in turbo tax, I decided to go with married filing jointly. However, when the TurboTax software asks about her SSN, I don't know what to put and leave it blank.  When getting ready to file, the software does not let me do it electronically and suggests filing by mail.  What can I do in this case? leave it blank and file by mail? or should I file married filed separately?
